Biography
Ying Chen obtained his BSc in Biotechnology from Yangzhou University (2002 - 2006), and MRes in Biomedical Sciences from the University of Glasgow (2006 - 2007).
Thereafter, he was awarded the Dorothy Hodgkin Postgraduate Award during that he studied for a PhD in Genetic Epidemiology at Keele University (2008 - 2012).
Following the study, he worked as an epidemiologist for the Roy Castle Lung Cancer Research Programme at the University of Liverpool (2012 - 2013) before taking up the current position at Keele.
