LI Renhao, Hematology

Program Overview

This program is tailored to train researchers and students in research in the areas of classical hematology and pathology. It aims to equip participants with both theoretical knowledge and hands-on skills, preparing them for advanced academic or industry careers in biomedical science. The target group is postdoctoral researchers.

Program Highlights

Providing a valuable platform for discussing ongoing research progress, refining methodologies, and fostering collaborative problem-solving

Access to advanced laboratory facilities, including flow cytometry platform, imaging platform, mass spectrometry platform and other platforms

Opportunities to publish articles or abstracts in peer-reviewed journals and present research posters or papers at conferences

Critical thinking, analytical, and practical inquiry skills utilizing the latest approaches in healthcare and medical research

Skills in critical appraisal, research design, and understanding of the entire medical research process

Training Objectives

Research the mechanisms of platelet clearance

Develop proficiency in cutting-edge laboratory techniques

Gain experience in project design and data analysis
