Biography
InterestsResearch in our lab lies at the interface of chemistry and biology, with an eye towards understanding and treating human diseases. We use interdisciplinary approaches such as organic synthesis, chemical proteomics, protein engineering, chemical sensing, and molecular imaging to investigate the biological mechanisms underlying diseases such as cancer, inflammation, and immune disorders. In particular, we are interested in developing innovative probes to systematically dissect proteins essential for the onset and relapse of diseases. We are also actively pursuing the design and synthesis of novel diagnostics and therapeutics, using our expertise in protein engineering, organic synthesis, drug delivery, library screening, and cell assay. Students have the opportunity to work in may areas spanning from organic synthesis to molecular biology/cell biology. The training is expected to help students achieve multiple skill sets and a strong publication record.
