About Me

Exploring the code of life, one molecule and one language at a time.

Beyond the Microscope

For me, science is about understanding the hidden languages of nature. Whether I am analyzing a complex signaling pathway in cancer cells or learning the stroke order of a Chinese character, I am driven by the same urge: Curiosity.

Being a researcher isn’t just a job; it’s a way of looking at the world. I love bridging cultures through languages just as much as I love connecting biological data points. I believe that true innovation comes from a mind that is open to both the precision of the lab and the richness of the world.
