Assistant Professor
Pharmacological Sciences
Harry received his Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) from Peking University Health Science Center, where he was trained in clinical medicine and public health. Motivated to explore the fundamental mechanisms underlying disease pathogenesis, he pursued his Ph.D. at Johns Hopkins University under the mentorship of Dr. Fengyi Wan, where he studied how bacterial infection contributes to colorectal cancer. During this time, he also completed a Master of Health Science (MHS) degree in the Department of Biostatistics. To further expand his expertise in cell and developmental biology, Harry joined Jeremy Reiter's lab at UCSF as a postdoctoral fellow, where he developed a lasting fascination with centrosome and cilium biology. His research focuses on uncovering the fundamental principles that govern organelle architecture and understanding how cells reorganize and adapt their organelles in response to environmental and developmental cues. Outside of the lab, he enjoys camping, hiking, reading, and spending time with his family.
