About

Jinghui completed her Bachelors at the University of Science and Technology in Beijing. In the final year, she went to University of Dundee as an exchange student. As part of her project, she investigated H2O2 in methionine oxidation. She has been interested in microbiology for a long time, so she decided to learn more about it as part of her PhD. In her spare time, she enjoys cooking, playing the piano and walking.

My CSCT experience

The CSCT was much more than a PhD programme—it was a community that shaped who I am today. I made lifelong friends, learned to think beyond the boundaries of my own discipline, and was encouraged to explore outreach, entrepreneurship and new ideas with an open mind. Most importantly, I always felt supported and inspired to step outside my comfort zone. The experiences and people I met through the CSCT have stayed with me long after my PhD.
