Let\u2019s hear about how her personal experiences inspired and shaped her passion for research.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Can you tell us a bit of your background? What inspired you to pursue a PhD, and how did you choose your specific research topic?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>I got into biomedical science because of my grandpa\u2019s emphysema, no cure, lots of frustration, so I thought, why not try to fix it myself? I pursued my BSc in Medical Biosciences at Imperial, where I got hooked on lab work\u2014CRISPR, transfection, stem cells. That\u2019s when I first felt like a proper scientist. That led me to the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imperial.ac.uk\/study\/courses\/postgraduate-taught\/genes-drugs-stem-cells\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MSc in Genes, Drugs and Stem Cells<\/a><\/strong>\u2014mainly because it had the coolest modules. I landed in the COPD field, just as I had always hoped, and started exploring it from a gene therapy angle.<\/p>\n<p>After my MSc, I met <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/profiles.imperial.ac.uk\/p.j.barnes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Professor Sir Peter Barnes<\/a><\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/profiles.imperial.ac.uk\/l.donnelly\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Professor Louise Donnelly<\/a><\/strong>, who introduced me to the world of senescence. It was mind-blowing. I pitched a PhD project combining senescence with my passion for stem cells, and luckily, they said yes.<\/p>\n<p>So I stayed at Imperial, still chasing answers for emphysema. Just now more mature, with a lot more data, and maybe a little closer to the solution I set out to find.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>What has been the most exciting part in your research so far?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>The most exciting part? It keeps changing as the project progresses. At first, it was when I managed to isolate AT2 cells (alveolar progenitors) from human lung tissues. Then it was discovering a difference between AT2s from COPD and non-COPD lungs. Then came the moment I saw tiny, bubble-like organoids forming under the microscope. And later, seeing beautifully stained organoids glowing in the dark confocal room\u2014that was something else.<\/p>\n<p>It changes, with lots of tears, and maybe some hard work and joy as well\u2014but tears for sure.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>What challenges have you faced, and how did you overcome them?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>I consider myself pretty lucky\u2014people around me have been genuinely lovely. But yes, there have definitely been challenges. And I think it\u2019s not just about the PhD; it\u2019s life in general. You constantly have to keep building yourself up\u2014getting stronger, both in the lab and mentally.<\/p>\n<p>Resilience is the key. When rejection or failure comes (and it <em>will<\/em>), learn to accept it, try to understand why, but not overthink it, and take the lesson forward. Sometimes even rejection isn\u2019t just all bad; it can redirect you to something better, or just give you the push you didn\u2019t know you needed. You need the courage to either keep going and do better next time, or to pivot when needed.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>What does a typical day look like for you as a PhD student?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>It really depends on what stage of the PhD I\u2019m in, but most days follow a general rhythm. I plan my experiments ahead of time, wake up, eat, head to the lab, and treat myself to an iced coffee as motivation. Then it&#8217;s ticking off the to-do list: run experiments, analyse data (ideally on the same day\u2014unless it\u2019s immunostainings, which I analyse while quietly crying).<\/p>\n<p>If I finish early, I write up my lab book at the bench; otherwise, I do it on the tube ride home. Then I revise or make tomorrow\u2019s to-do list, cook dinner (often experimenting with questionable new recipes), eat, do nothing for a bit, sleep\u2014and repeat.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-322\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.imperial.ac.uk\/nhli\/files\/2025\/05\/ERS-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-style: normal !msorm\"><em>Yiling (second <\/em><\/span><span style=\"font-style: normal !msorm\"><em>right) with her <\/em><\/span><span style=\"font-style: normal !msorm\"><em>research supervisor <\/em><\/span><span style=\"font-style: normal !msorm\"><em>Professor Louise Donnelly (second <\/em><\/span><em>left<span style=\"font-style: normal !msorm\">) and <\/span><span style=\"font-style: normal !msorm\">teammates <\/span><span style=\"font-style: normal !msorm\">at the European Respiratory Society Congress.<\/span><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>How has your relationship with your supervisor, peers, or academic community shaped your experience?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>I feel like both of my supervisors, Professor Sir Peter Barnes and Professor Louise Donnelly, are like big, encouraging, chill &#8216;parents&#8217;.
