±Ê³ó¶ÙÌýthesis title: Stromal-tumour interaction in pancreatic cancer.ÌýFaculty of Medicine, UNSW Sydney.

Medicine & Health
School of Clinical Medicine

I obtained my PhD degree at UNSW Sydney. My research interests focus on pancreatic cancer, chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic stellate cells. I have published more than 20 peer-reviewed publications with total citations over 1500 and one book chapter,Ìý10 publications and over 1200 citations in the past five years, and an H-index of 17. I'm a co-investigator of an Ideas Grant (2020-2023) funded by Australian National Health and Medical Research Council, the chief investigator of a project founded by Tour de Cure in 2019 and a co-investigator of a 3-year project (2018-2020) funded by Avner Pancreatic Cancer Foundation.Ìý
