I did my master project in Prof. Simone Di Giovanni\u2019s group, which was friendly and lovely. This lab experience deepened my interest in axonal regeneration, I became familiar with all the lab members, and I decided to stay in this perfect lab for my future study<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is your name?\u00a0\u00a0 Yuyang Yan Where are you from?\u00a0\u00a0 China To which class do you belong?\u00a0 MSc Translational Neuroscience, Class of 2020 Where and what did you study before joining Imperial College London?\u00a0\u00a0 BSc Biochemistry at The University of Liverpool How did you find your\u00a0Master\u00a0experience at the College?\u00a0\u00a0 Perfect.
