Yingxue Guan

Yingxue Guan is a doctoral student in nutrition at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, specializing in the study of dietary influences on gut health. Her focused research is on the effects of Cannabidiol (CBD) on colon cancer cells and the dietary impacts of mushrooms on gut health in mice. With the severity of gut-related problems, she chose to work in this field. Yingxue has complemented her studies with roles as a research and teaching assistant, demonstrating proficiency in experimental techniques and data analysis. She enjoys nature, hiking, and other sports hobbies. After graduation, she will continue research as a life-long career.

Thank you for your financial support. Your generosity not only assists me in achieving my academic goals but also inspires me to give back to the community. I aspire to one day provide the same support to other students, helping them reach their educational objectives as you have helped me.
