Chapter 7 —— 171 —— Curriculum Vitae Zhen Li was born on April 1st, 1993 in the city of Sanya, Hainan Province, China. During 2011-2016, he was enrolled in the 5-year Bachelor study of clinical medicine consisted of one year of general college studies (2011-2012) and 4 years of fundamental and clinical medicine (2012-2016), which includes one year of clinical internship rotation in the Tongji Hospital affiliated to Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, China. From the year of 2016 to 2019, he, as a Master student of Surgery, joined the group of Prof. Dr. Liping Su in the Department of General Surgery at the Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, Shanghai, China, where he focused on the research investigating the impact of the long non-coding RNA FMO6P on the invasion and migration of gastric cancer cells. In the meantime, he also got the registered qualification certificate of practicing physician in 2017. In the year of 2019, he received the Ph.D. scholarship from the China Scholarship Council - Leiden University joint program to chase the doctoral diploma in the Netherlands. With the supervision of Prof. Dr. Rob C. Hoeben and Dr. M.A.F.V. Gonçalves in the Department of Cell and Chemical Biology at the Leiden University Medical Center, he combined the CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing system and different viral vectors for achieving robust and versatile gene editing. Along with demonstrating the efficiencies of such viral vector-based system, he also probed the accuracy and specificity of the system of using different engineered Cas9 proteins delivered by viral vectors. Instead of being a full-time researcher in the laboratory, he prefers to engage with patients and choose to be a surgeon in a hospital.
