(one of the English teachers was from California, USA, and the other English teacher was born in the UK); gave up the opportunity for admission to the PhD program of the Institute of Biophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, with a recommendation from my advisor, Dr. Mao Xi-an, and with an English exam, in 1998; gave up the opportunity for transferring directly from a 3-year MS degree study to a 5-year PhD study under the supervision of Dr. Mao Xi-an who was the Director of the National Key Laboratory of Magnetic Resonance and Atomic and Molecular Physics, in 1996; was the only master’s student of Dr. Mao Xi-an and the other six students of his were all PhD students WUHAN UNIVERSITY Wuhan, China

Excellent Graduate Award 1995

The only student in China who passed the national entrance examinations for the graduate program of the Department of Cellular and Molecular Developmental Biology at Wuhan University in 1995 (as what I was told by the Director of the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics, in that year, no one passed 3 / 10

the national entrance examinations for the graduate program of the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics where I conducted my graduation thesis); was recommended for admission to the National Key Laboratory of Magnetic Resonance and Atomic and Molecular Physics at Wuhan Institute of Physics & Mathematics without entrance examinations

“Outstanding University Dorm of Hubei Province”, a provincial award in Hubei Province Highlights of My Achievements before College:

Ranked among the top 500 – 700 in Shaanxi province in the national university entrance examinations in 1991, with a total score beyond the entrance requirement of Tsinghua University (In 1991, freshmen at Tsinghua University were required to receive a one-year military training before a four-year regular university education because of the world-famous student movement happened in Beijing in the year 1989. Therefore, many students including me gave up applying for this university and Peking University in that year)

Was selected to attend advanced physics courses organized by the district education research organization, at Xi’an Jiaotong University in the summer of 1989 and at Northwestern Polytechnical University on the weekends in the 1989 – 1990 academic year (as far as I know, less than two hundred top students in Xi’an city were selected to attend those courses that were taught at those two best universities in Shaanxi province, for free)

Won the “Three-Good Student” award for seven academic years before college from the year 1979 to the year 1991

Was recommended for admission(Chinese: 保送)to the high school of Xi’an Dongfang Middle School without any examinations in June 1985, however, I still took the high school entrance examinations of the city of Xi’an, and my outstanding grades helped me win a first-year full tuition waiver from the high school of Xi’an Dongfang Middle School and helped me successfully transfer to one of the top high schools in the city of Xi’an

SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH EXPERIENCE

ROSWELL PARK CANCER INSTITUTE Buffalo, NY

Research Affiliate Jan 2000 – Mar 2003

Department of Molecular and Cellular Biophysics and Biochemistry and the Department of Dermatology Research Project: Membrane and Soluble Proteins as Potential Porphyrin Binding Sites in Photodynamic Therapy (started my PhD research within half year after my enrollment) Highlights of Research Findings & Capacities:

Proposed in a student seminar that human peripheral benzodiazepine receptor (PBR) (now called Translocator Protein, TSPO for short), a mitochondrial outer membrane protein, could transfer small molecules, such as porphyrins, through the tunnel inside its five-helix bundle, in spring 2001 (I need to confirm this, I may not remember the details completely or accurately)

Worked out the complete cDNA sequence of TSPO in fall 2000 while in the previously published cDNA sequence, four base pairs were missed. This finding was only a few days later than the same finding of a few other scholars in America as published online

Was able to express TSPO in various E. coli expression systems. Extracted and purified the target protein through various methods, and obtained both truncated protein and a larger protein that was 6 kDa bigger than what was expected in different expression systems 4 / 10

Expressed and purified human diazepam binding inhibitor (DBI), an endogenous TSPO ligand, studied its structure by NMR and proposed its three-dimensional structure by homology modeling

Experienced in recombinant protein expression in E. coli, protein purification, recombinant DNA technology, protein immunological activity check, molecular modeling, cell culture, protein structural and functional analysis using NMR and other methods, etc.

Was familiar with SYBYL, UXNMR, XWINNMR, C language, FORTRAN language, UNIX operating system, etc.

Was proficient in designing, organizing and performing experiments. Was skillful in using statistical, analytical tools and laboratory equipments including PCR machine (thermal cyclers), fluorescent microscope, HPLC, and so on

Cooperated with Dr. Jun Wang in about two of his papers on chemical synthesis by conducting NMR experiments for his samples (I gave up the intellectual property right of having my advisor and I listed as coauthors in these papers of his, due to my shyness and ignorance) Highlights of Research Capacities:

Shed light on the idea of creating a novel 1D 1H pulse sequence with two O1 to suppress the water signal and the signal of the hydroxyl proton of a small peptide alternately, and independently worked out the pulse sequence which though needed further experimentation, application and research

1D 1H, 13C, 31P experiments, 1D NOE difference spectra

The measurements of the spin-lattice relaxation time (T1) and spin-spin relaxation time (T2) of protons, especially for those of water in the presence of strong radiation damping
