What is your name?\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Yuyang Yan<\/p>\n Where are you from?\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n China<\/p>\n To which class do you belong?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n MSc Translational Neuroscience, Class of 2020<\/p>\n Where and what did you study before joining Imperial College London?\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n BSc Biochemistry at The University of Liverpool<\/p>\n How did you find your\u00a0Master\u00a0experience at the College?\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Perfect. It gave me the opportunity to explore the area I am really interested in. It also provided me with the basis of scientific research and how to be a young scientist<\/p>\n Which research project did you work on?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Studying the mechanisms underlying axonal regeneration<\/p>\n Where are you now?<\/strong><\/p>\n \u200bI am a research assistant in Professor Simone Di Giovanni’s lab<\/p>\n What are you working on?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n I am working on the characterization and correction of Cdkl5 nuclear function in human CDD neurons during maturation<\/p>\n What is the most important lesson you learnt as a\u00a0Master\u00a0student?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n To solve a problem independently, to work independently as well as in a team<\/p>\n How did the Master programme help you get to where you are now?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n All the modules are instrumental in understanding the basics of neuroscience as well as designing experiments to answer a specific research question. Moreover, my personal tutor gave me many useful suggestions, not only for my master, but also for my future plan. Last but not least, I am so lucky I could develop my interest in axonal regeneration. I did my master project in Prof. Simone Di Giovanni\u2019s group, which was friendly and lovely. This lab experience deepened my interest in axonal regeneration, I became familiar with all the lab members, and I decided to stay in this perfect lab for my future study<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What is your name?\u00a0\u00a0 Yuyang Yan Where are you from?\u00a0\u00a0 China To which class do you belong?\u00a0 MSc Translational Neuroscience, Class of 2020 Where and what did you study before joining Imperial College London?\u00a0\u00a0 BSc Biochemistry at The University of Liverpool How did you find your\u00a0Master\u00a0experience at the College?\u00a0\u00a0 Perfect.
