My particular interest in and the focus of my practice lies on Gynecological Disorders (Chinese Gynecology), Fertility Treatment and Skin Diseases (Chinese Dermatology). The greatest influence on my work in Chinese Gynecology until this day has been Steven Clavey (Melbourne, Australia), and in Chinese Dermatology my former tutor Prof. Mǎ Lìlì (Hángzhōu, China). Without their knowledge and expertise my work would certainly not have been the same.
