Overview
I am an innovative problem solver. As demonstrated throughout my research career, one of my notable strengths is my ability to devise creative solutions for the challenges encountered in various research projects. Since my graduate training in a molecular biology lab almost 20 years ago, I have been particularly drawn to molecular biology and bioinformatics as my favorite skill set. The beauty of simplicity in principles and the fundamental role of molecular biology in life sciences continually inspire me to approach problems with a straightforward and innovative mindset.
I am an enthusiastic and dedicated researcher. I love research, especially disease-related research to understand and solve clinical problems which can promote the health of patients. Interest has been my best motivator throughout my research career, no matter in academic or industrial settings. I have been making every effort to achieve highest standards that I could in every project I was involved in. Passion has been my best teacher, who guides me to keep learning new knowledge and technologies and to overcome challenges through persistent endeavor.Current Appointments & Affiliations
