Hello, I’m Jing

I am a second-year Ph.D. student at the Department of Integrative Physiology, University of Colorado Boulder, where I am fortunate to work with Dr. Matthew R. Olm at the Integrative Microbiome Research Laboratory. Our research focuses on understanding the dynamics of human microbiome, particularly:

• The transmission and acquisition patterns of human microbiota
• The role of gut microbiome in early-life immune system development and disease
• The complex interactions between intestinal immunity and microbiome in health and disease

Previously, I completed my Master of Medicine at Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, where I worked on antibiotic resistance genes and One Health surveillance. I received my Bachelor of Medicine from Anhui Medical University.

I am always excited to discuss science and potential collaborations. Feel free to reach out via email!
