She received her Ph.D. in Nursing (2021) from Duke University, Master of Medicine (2017) from Fudan University, and Bachelor of Medicine (2014) from Central South University in China. Her research interests focus on cancer symptom science and management, omics science, innovative interventions (e.g., technology-based interventions), and health disparities and health equity. Dr. Lin has launched a programmatic line of cancer symptom research guided by the NIH Symptom Science Model. Currently, she is leading a research grant funded by the Oncology Nursing Foundation (ONF2022RE03) to conduct a clinical trial at the Winship Cancer Institute to assess the feasibility and acceptability of a web-based dyadic intervention to manage psychoneurological symptoms for patients with colorectal cancer receiving chemotherapy and their family caregivers.
