China Diabetes Impact Study is funded by IDF and technically supported by Division of Diabetes Translation of CDC. It is a follow-up study of China National Diabetes and Metabolic Disorder Study. A total of 12 study sites participated in the China Diabetes Impact Study. I am the national program coordinator and the investigator of Beijing study site. All study participants with DM, NDM and IGR were interviewed and collected information about their health care service use, medical expenditure, etc. 

Research Interest: My Research Interests Span Many Areas Including Bioinformatics and Metabolomics. As a Phd Student at Center of Magnetic Resonance of University of Florence (Italy), My Research Focused on the Metabolomic Analysis of Biofluid (E.G., Urine, Serum, Saliva) and Tissue (E.G., Intact Human Liver) Samples. I Used Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy and Advanced Statistical Analysis Techniques to Identify and Predict Metabolomic Fingerprints. In Particular, I Used NMR-Based Metabolomic Analysis to Identify a Fingerprint of Poor-Survival in the Serum of Patient with Metastatic Colorectal Cancer.
Now as Postdoc at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, My Current Research Focuses on Identifying Metabolic Fingerprint Predictors of Prostate Cancer Development and Progression to Improve our Understanding of The Mechanisms Linking Metabolism with the Biology of Prostate Cancer. Moreover, I Will Contribute on Developing of New Standard Operation Procedures for Metabolomic Analysis in Formalin Fixed Paraffin Embedded Tissues.
