I conducted research during my doctoral degree on the mechanisms of nerve regeneration following peripheral nervous system injury models. Subsequently, I investigated the use of several drugs to inhibit degeneration and reduce pain during the process of nerve degeneration. Unlike nerve cells in the central nervous system, which are relatively compact, those in the peripheral nervous system consist of very long single cells, with damage at the terminals reaching the cell bodies and undergoing regeneration a unique structure. Therefore, studying these regeneration mechanisms is crucial not only for understanding peripheral nerve regeneration but also for investigating different regeneration mechanisms in the central nervous system in the future.

I have technique the skills to conduct research on cell regeneration and degeneration in the peripheral nervous system, and I am also interested in exploring mechanisms of regeneration in the central nervous system.

Thank you for your attention.
