Biography
I started my PhD studies at Clemson University in 2009. My research was focusing on the single molecule spectroscopy of conjugated polymer nanoparticles. After graduation, I joined Dr. Sally Ward and Dr. Raimund Ober’s lab at TAMU in 2016 as post-doctoral research associate, investigating antibody trafficking in cancer cells using advanced fluorescence microscopy. Now I’m a postdoctoral research associate in Dr. Robert S. Chapkin lab.
Research
My current research is focusing on the study of membrane protein interactions (such as clustering process) with different fluorescence microscopy techniques. By understanding the mechanism behind those biological processes, the goal is to facilitate the development of membrane-targeted therapies.
