Lab Staff
Wangyu Chen
Lab Administrator
I graduated from Wenzhou Medical University with bachelor’s degree in clinical pharmacy in 2021. Since then, I have been working in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine as a research assistant. People who know me say I am a detail oriented and dependable person with both feet on the ground. Besides, I willing to work under pressure with strong interpersonal skills. During my spare time I like listening to music, reading books, surfing the Internet and hanging out with friends.
Wenjie Ming
Lab Technician
I graduated from Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine with bachelor's degree in Clinical Medicine at 2013. Since then, I have been working in the Epilepsy Center of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine as an EEG doctor. I obtained the master's degree in Neurosurgery from Zhejiang University at 2020. In the past 9 years, my work and research are dedicated to EEG analysis, to help with an accurate diagnosis of epilepsy and assist in making surgical plans. In my spare time, i enjoy staying with my wife and two little sons, and I never get tired of it.
Graduate Students
Zhoule Zhu
PhD Researcher
I graduated from Zhejiang Chinese Medical University with bachelor’s degree in clinical medicine in 2017. Currently I am a doctoral student at Zhejiang University, major in neurosurgery, with a research focus in stereotactic and functional neurosurgery. In the past five years, I learned how to reconstruct white matter tracts (WMT) in human brain by tractography using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) technology to optimal deep brain stimulation targeting. I am also interested in studying how neuronal populations change in depression, and how it is modulated by electrical and optogenetic stimulation. In my free time I enjoy taking photos, running in circles and lifting heavy things.
Chengwei Cai
PhD Researcher
I graduated from Wenzhou Medical University with bachelor’s degree in 2018, and then entered Zhejiang University to major in neurosurgery. For the past 4 years, I have mainly focused on next-generation sequencing technologies, especially single-cell sequencing and spatial transcriptomics. I am also interested in topics related to functional neurosurgery, such as epilepsy and depression. In my spare time, I enjoy listening to music, reading and hanging out with friends.
Xinxia Guo
PhD Researcher
I graduated from Zhejiang Chinese Medical University with bachelor’s degree in 2019. Recently I graduated from Zhejiang University, my major is neurosurgery and I will achieve my master degree in June. As a professional master, I accepted the standardized clinical training in Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine. Functional neurosurgery is my interested area. In the next three years of doctoral study and the future, I hope I can learn something in scientific research and gain great “surprises”. Personally, I am energetic, fashion-minded and enjoying painting, taking photos and playing basketball.
Yuqi Ying
Master Researcher
I recently graduated from Chinese medical university of Zhejiang with a bachelor’s degree in clinical medicine. Afterward, I will go on to medical school of Zhejiang University as a graduate students where I aspire to be a neurosurgery physician. As part of ZJU Brainomics lab I hope to analyze and integrate transcriptomic datasets to explore gene expression of neurodegenerative diseases. I am hardworking and easy-going. Outside of lab, I enjoy eating all kinds of food, hiking and many other forms of exercise.
