Because our facility is a trans-institutional, multidisciplinary facility, we encounter researchers from a wide variety of scientific fields.  I enjoy working with and learning about the many different backgrounds.

I manage the day to day operations of the CSAI including image coordination, inventory control, general laboratory maintenance, and safety.

My focus is on non-human primate training for MRI and small animal surgery.

I received my M.D. degree in Medical Pathology at Hebei Medical University and started to work VUIIS as a research technician in July 2007. My focus is on non-human primate training for MRI and small animal surgery. I also train people for to use Maestro and IVIS.
