Personal profile

In 1990 and 1993, I obtained a bachelor's degree in preventive medicine and a master's degree in toxicology from Shandong Medical University (Shandong University). In 1996, I received my doctorate in occupational health from Beijing Medical University (Peking University) where I was promoted to professor in 2006. I was STA fellow at the National Institute of Environmental Studies in Japan from 2000 to 2002 and also had short-term visits at Toyama University and Kawasaki Medical University in Japan.

I am the chief editor of two undergraduate textbooks, “Occupational Health and Occupational Diseases (Case Version)” and “Concise Course on Occupational Health”, as well as three monographs, including “Respiratory Toxicology”, “Biological Effects and Safety Applications of Carbon Nanotubes”, and “Toxicology of Organic Solvents”. I have been recognized in the "Top 100 Influential Scholars in Public Health and Preventive Medicine in China" and have been selected as one of the top 2% of scientists in the world for many times.

I am a member of the Academic Committee of the Occupational Health and Poison Control Institute of the National Center for Disease Control and Prevention. I am vice chairwoman of Occupational Health and Occupational Diseases Committee of the Chinese Preventive Medicine Association, the Industrial Toxicology Committee of the Chinese Society of Toxicology, and the Occupational Health Association Standards of the China Health Supervision Society, also, a member of the Health, Safety and Environment Working Group of the National Nanotechnology Standardization Technical Committee. In addition, I work as the editor of several journals, including the “Chinese Journal of Preventive Medicine”.
