I am a biochemistry major, and gender and sexuality studies minor from Beijing, China. My current work in the lab involves investigating the interaction between two kinases in the MAPK pathway, MEK and ERK, to identify important residues for the binding and phosphorylation of the two kinases, which could potentially contribute to drug design. I am also working on investigating non-canonical DNA structures and their interactions with small ligands using X-ray crystallography. Outside of the lab, you will see me in the gym or cooking food with my friends.
