Minhua received her medical degree from Guangzhou Medical University in 2017 and her PhD from Peking Union Medical College in 2023, with research training at the Weizmann Institute of Science (2018–2023). Her doctoral work focused on the molecular mechanisms of preleukemic hematopoiesis and therapeutic vulnerabilities associated with splicing factor mutations, which sparked her interest in the early clonal evolution of cancer.

Under the joint mentorship of Dr. Gad Getz and Dr. Irene Ghobrial, her current research focuses on the genomic and immune landscapes of multiple myeloma and its precursor conditions. Her broader research interests include cancer immunoprevention and the contribution of germline genetics to cancer susceptibility.

Outside the lab, Minhua enjoys playing the piano, exploring coffee shops, and growing plants.
