Rui graduated from pharmacology and obtained her bachelor and master degree from China Pharmaceutical University (2011-2018). During her master study, Rui was interested in elucidating the molecular mechanisms of cancer stem cell and inflammatory function during tumorigenesis. She also developed interests in chemoproteomics to identify the drug targets when she visited the National Center for Protein Science Center (Phoenix) during 2016-2017 as an exchange student in Dr. Jing Yang lab. Rui joined the Guomics team in 2018 as a PhD candidate.
