Currently, I’m a PhD student at UBC’s Yachie Lab in the Biomedical Engineering Program. My research interest spans synthetic biology and I’m particularly keen on learning and applying the latest technologies to decipher phosphorylation networks relevant to mammalian differentiation. As a member of the Masason Foundation, I’m passionate about spreading STEM interest in students. Last year, I’ve co-founded a club for graduate students to give seminars of research to local high-school students as well as create simple yet instructional videos on advanced topics in biology! Our goal is to create an international alliance among graduate students to share their research interest to the world, igniting interest in our respective research fields while improving our scientific communication skills.
