Experience
Scientist, 08/2016 to Current
Principia Biopharma Inc.Northborough, MA,

Liquid biopsy research and development

  • Developed and optimized assays for circulating tumor cell isolation on LiquidBiopsy® platform.

  • Regularly perform molecular analysis on ctcDNA and cfDNA using next generation sequencing.

  • Investigated omniphobic surface coating on microfluidic chip to prevent thrombosis.

  • Provide technical support and arrange technology transfer.
Ph.D. Candidate, 05/2012 to 07/2016
University Of ArkansasHope, AR,

Investigations of talin mediated integrin activation using Nanodisc

  • Investigated the mechanism of the membrane recruitment and auto-inhibition of talin. Identified PIP2 as a key player for talin mediated integrin activation.

  • Demonstrated a novel conformational change of talin that mediated integrin activation. 

  • Developed a novel Nanodisc FRET binding assay for measuring protein-membrane interactions.
Ph.D. Candidate, 11/2011 to 08/2012
University Of Illinois At Urbana-ChampaignCity, STATE,

Biochemical and structural studies of cytochromes P450

  • Generated the membrane embedded and inactive form of cytochrome P450cam, with high pressure induction for structural study of its hydroxylation chemistry. Identified histidine replacing cysteine as the heme ligand in the P420-CO-bound state. This research is a collaboration with Dr. Paul Champion at Northeastern University.

  • Revealed the shape and orientation of the membrane embedded Cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) in Nanodiscs. This project is a collaboration with Dr. Nicholas Skar-Gislinge at University of Copenhagen.
Undergraduate Research Assistant, 06/2010 to 05/2011
