Summery
I received my BSc (2003) and MSc (2009) in Chinese herbal medicines from China Pharmaceutical University, and my Ph.D. (2014) in mass spectrometry imaging of natural products from University of Copenhagen, working with Christian Janfelt on development of instrumentation for DESI MS-imaging. In 2013, I was a visitor at Bernhard Spengler's lab at Justus Liebig University Giessen, Germany, where I learned about MALDI MS imaging. I am now a postdoc at Jonathan V. Sweedler group, Department of Chemistry, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I’m continuous working on the methodology development of mass spectrometry imaging for studying spatial distribution of natural products in various biological materials, including SIMS and MALDI imaging, to unravel the role of small molecules in different biological system.
