Teaching
I was a teacher in Tianjin Medical University School of Nursing. I have taught Medical-Surgical Nursing, Nursing Research and Critical Care Nursing.
Research
My research interests lie in the areas of child and family health care in oncology, especially in symptom assessment and management, patient-reported outcomes and biopsychosocial mechanisms underlying symptoms. I am well trained to study gut microbiome, microbiome-gut-brain axis, and analysis of microbiome dataset. My current research is supported by American Nurses Foundation, Southern Nursing Research Society, and Oncology Nursing Society. I am currently holding an NIH K99/R00 (1K99NR017897-01) to explore the the microbiome-gut-brain axis in psychoneurological symptoms in children with solid tumors.
