特任研究员，2016年博士毕业于中国科学技术大学生命科学学院，后留任助理研究员,于2017年至2022年在杜克大学医学中心从事博士后研究工作。
2022年8月加入中国科学技术大学生命科学与医学部，主要研究兴趣为肿瘤微环境中代谢紊乱与肿瘤免疫逃逸的关系，通过探索肿瘤发生发展的分子机制，为肿瘤治疗提供潜在药物靶点和新策略。主要工作发表于Nature Cell Biology、 Nature Metabolism、Nature Communications、Cell Research、Cell Reports等期刊上。
主要研究兴趣与方向：
1. 探索特定代谢物调控肿瘤免疫的作用与机制
2. 肿瘤神经浸润对肿瘤发生发展调控机制的研究
3. 药物引起肿瘤细胞衰老对肿瘤治疗的影响和意义
4. 抗肿瘤新药的筛选与探索
