Wow! your undergraduate degree and your masters seem like a really awesome combo with a pharmD degree. I would love to have a MS in Nutrition. Maybe after pharmacy school 👍 🙂

Thanks! I am hoping my background will help me out with my pharmD classes. It should also help with food and drug interactions, TPN. Maybe you can take some nutrition classes at your pharmacy school? It is an interesting subject, and always changing. Good Luck! 🙂

WU Han-Kui,
http://wuhankui.ik8.com/xxgk.htm
Male ,
Born in 1981 in Sichuan ,China.
graduate
Graduated from China Pharmaceutical University in 2003,major in Traditional Chinese Medicines. Now continuing doctoral education in Organic Chemistry in XJIPC.(Xingjiang Technical Institute of Physics & Chemistry , CAS)

Current research interests centre on naturally occurring organic compounds (natural products) which possess biological activity. Typical projects involve the isolation and structural elucidation of novel natural products [extensive use of NMR spectroscopic methods], determination of the biological activity of these new compounds, synthetic methodology and the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds, and an investigation of the biosynthesis of the new natural products (predominantly through the use of 13C-enriched precursors).
