On the afternoon of December 1, 2024, the 2024 Graduate Academic Experience Exchange Conference of the School of Basic Medical Sciences was successfully held in Conference Room 301 (East Wing) of the Teaching Building on the main campus. This event aimed to impart academic experience, share research knowledge, guide academic planning, and promote personal development.
The exchange meeting invited Zhu Hanyong, a Master’s student in Pathogenic Biology from the School of Basic Medical Sciences (Class of 2022), and Ding Lina, a Master’s student in Pathology and Pathophysiology from the School of Basic Medical Sciences (Class of 2023), to share their academic experiences. Yang Jingjing, a Master’s student in Immunology from the Jiangsu Provincial Key Laboratory of Immunology and Metabolism (Class of 2022), presided over the meeting, which was attended by more than 40 first-year graduate students from the school.
Zhu Hanyong is engaged in research on the mechanism of gut microbiota regulation in the development of intestinal and hematological diseases. He has led provincial-level scientific research projects, participated in multiple national-level projects, and published several SCI papers in high-impact academic journals. His presentation, "A Brief Discussion on Learning and Research Experience," covered four key areas: research experience and insights, literature reading and management, the use of research tools, and future development plans. He emphasized the importance of innovative thinking, scientific rigor, and teamwork. He also provided valuable recommendations for academic planning, including attending conferences, participating in research projects, and publishing academic papers.
Ding Lina focuses on the mechanisms of targeted therapy in tumors. She has excelled in both academics and research, earning multiple honors and scholarships and publishing academic papers as a co-author in Cell Death & Disease. She has also participated in several provincial and municipal research projects. In her presentation, she shared her personal experiences and insights on professional learning, scientific research, literature reading, the use of research tools, and extracurricular activities. She emphasized the significance of innovative thinking, a pragmatic and truth-seeking approach, collaboration, self-determination, and learning from failures. She encouraged students to actively seize opportunities during their graduate studies.
This academic experience exchange conference provided valuable introductory guidance for first-year graduate students in scientific research. Through the presentations and experiences shared by two outstanding graduate students, the attendees gained a deeper understanding of the importance of innovation, scientific rigor, and teamwork in research, as well as skills in literature management, research methodologies, and the use of scientific tools. Additionally, the event inspired students to plan their academic careers, develop independent thinking and self-management skills, and establish a solid foundation for their future in scientific research.
