Key words: Immunology oncology, Ph.D., Research Scientist, Flow cytometry, In vivo experiments, Translational research I'm a Ph.D. candidate trained in immunology and oncology. With 9+ years of research/teaching experience and 5+ years of clinical experience. I had 12 high-impact publications with 445+ citations, also 3 more publications in progress. I'm highly independent and scientifically critical with strong communication/writing skills (trilingual in English, Mandarin Chinese and Cantonese) and collaboration experience. Meanwhile, I took on roles of ad-hoc peer reviewer and editorial board member. Years of lab/clinic training, projects/people managing, troubleshooting and collaboration experience made me very confident of becoming a successful post-phd research scientist and a lifelong science explorer. • Project 1: Developed live-Listeria based, highly-attenuated, oral immunization cancer vaccine.
