Chenyue Mao

Chenyue Mao is a second-year graduate student at Shanghai Longhua Hospital affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (SHUTCM), pursuing a master’s degree in General Practice, with expected expected graduation in 2026. She is mentored by Dr. Haiyin Zhao, Director of the Acupuncture Department, who has extensive clinical experience and unique insights into acupuncture, especially in using scalp acupuncture to treat neurological conditions such as insomnia, depression, and migraines. Recognizing acupuncture as a pivotal component of non-drug therapies in traditional Chinese medicine, Chenyue has committed to making acupuncture the focus of her research. Chenyue completed her undergraduate studies at SHUTCM, majoring in Acupuncture and Tuina. In her spare time, she actively engaged in community service, participating in various volunteer activities. She spent three years on her university’s volunteer service team and served as the leader of the Muscle Disease Association Volunteer Service Team, which helped her develop strong coordination and communication skills. Additionally, she participated in research projects, visiting local communities to promote and teach Tuina techniques and moxibustion. Through years of dedicated study, Chenyue has developed proficiency in acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, and tuina, among other traditional Chinese non-drug therapies. She hopes to leverage this valuable learning opportunity to broaden her perspective and apply her knowledge in practice.
