Research Scientist
Department of Bioengineering, University of Texas at Dallas
I have received extensive trainings during my graduate and postdoctoral studies in a broad range of biological
research fields, which include molecular biology, cell biology, neuroscience, bioengineering and quantitative
biology. Additionally, I have received formal education at graduate level in the field of Computer Science and
Statistics. My current research projects focus on improving the efficacies and specificities of the latest genome
editing techniques, as well as exploring their translational potentials in cancer therapy, using both experimental
and computational approaches. Specifically, using various CRISPR editing technologies, I have developed
over 20 mammalian cell lines for disease modeling purposes. These research experiences are closely related
to our proposed research project, and upon its conclusion, I will further examine its therapeutic benefits by
adopting appropriate animal cancer models.
