Role
I am a Dermatologist working in the Photobiology Unit with Professor Lesley Rhodes. I have s strong academic background, possessing a PhD, and previously holding posts as Clinical Lecturer and Associate Professor in China. I obtained further molecular dermatology research experience in Japan and subsequently at the University of Manchester. I have several original manuscripts published in the highest impact dermatology journal, and several other manuscripts and book chapters in the Chinese literature. I am pursuing research interests in human photoprotection by systemic means (dietary and by application of alpha-MSH analogue).
