Ping Ping is the second most senior staff in our laboratory, having worked here is 1994. She is indispensible to our group, known for her meticulousness in histology, immunohistochemistry and surgery and also for organizing potlucks and parties, and hosting Chinese scholars on excursions to Death Valley and other American Landmarks. She has more than seven publications.
