I am a self-motivated and skillful researcher with 7+ years professional experience at the multidisciplinary forefront of cell and gene therapy, an efficient communicator, and a thoughtful team player caring about the opinion and interest of others. My research experience in academia and industry includes:
- Culture and differentiation of multiple stem cell types (iPSCs, ECs, MSCs) for in vitro modeling
- In vitro isolation, culture and transduction of human immune cells (natural killer cell, T cell, HSPC)
- AAV and LV plasmid design, cloning, packaging, titration and transduction in multiple mammalian cell types
- Epigenetic editing by CRISPRa/i for finely tuned stem cell differentiation and cell therapy
- NGS-based high throughput screen of DNA-binding protein domains as novel CRISPRa/i effectors
- NGS-based massively parallel reporter assay (MPRA) for the screen of Cis regulatory motifs in immune cells
- Development of various 3D cell culture and assembly strategies for tissue engineering
