Jinghan was born and raised in Hebei Province in northern China and went to Zhejiang University for her undergraduate study. At that time, she began her journey in Biology. Just totally impressed by the beautiful tissue patterns, she decided to study developmental biology and joined Dr. Peng Xia’s lab at Zhejiang University in her sophomore year. She accumulated some experience in working with zebrafish there and found her interest in the role of mechanical force and how mechanical and chemical signals work together to enable those complex and accurate patterns. Based on her interest, she joined Tony’s lab as an undergraduate exchange student to study how cell adhesion assists in zebrafish spinal cord development. In her spare time, she enjoys reading and likes going outdoors on sunny days. By the way, now she is trying to be a good cook while there is still a long way to go.
