My research experience has encompassed many fields, including electrophysiology, animal behaviour, molecular biology and clinical trials. My master’s dissertation study focused on “Effects of pHo on membrane potential and K+ channels’ activity in aortic smooth muscle cells”. My PhD research was “Effect of diabetes mellitus on cognition of vascular dementia”, in which many basic medical research techniques such as cell culture, patch-clamp, making animal model, molecular biology were mastered and developed.
I started engaging in clinical trials and epidemiological research over the last ten years. At the beginning I worked as the medical monitor for the ENCHANTED and BEYOND7 studies, and as an end-point adjudicator for SAVE, all of which were undertaken by The George Institute and George Clinical organisations. I also worked as the Lead of the central follow-up team and study coordinator for HeadPoST study in China, resulting in a New England Journal of Medicine publication. While staying in the previous hospital, I played the role of site PI of ENCHANTED and HeadPoST study.
