Brisbane, Queensland, Australia
I'm Wenqing, a PhD candidate in School of Veterinary Science, The University of Queensland. I graduated from School of Veterinary Medicine, Yangzhou University with bachelor's degree and School of Veterinary Medicine, Jilin University with Master's degree. During my externship in Arizona Equine Medical and Surgical Center, I found my interest in equine endocrine diseases. Then I decided to focus my PhD research on a disease named pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction characterized by dopaminergic degeneration in aged horses. I hope to explore the new diagnostic method to detect PPID in the early stage and open the field to new treatments beyond daily life-long medications so that will improve aging horse health and welfare.
