Research Interests:
I am working on validation assays for in vivo PET imaging studies for woodchuck model of hepatitis B virus-induced hepatocellular carcinoma. Woodchuck model is so far the best naturally occurring liver tumor model that closely mimics the human pathology. My work focuses on validating the usefulness of tracers on this animal model according to the hypothesized mechanisms, which helps to establishe the molecular basis and imaging foundation for the use of radiolabelled probes for early cancer detection or monitoring of chemotherapy outcome. My research interests also include image reconstruction, signal and image processing etc.

CV Overview:
I received my B.S. and M.S. degree both in Biomedical Engineering at Zhejiang University, China. I joined the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Case Western Reserve University in the fall of 2004. Currently I am a Ph.D. student in the Molecular Imaging Laboratory at the Case Center for Imaging Research.
