Education

Research interests

I am passionate about improving human health and quality of life using functional nucleic acids. Specifically, my past, current & future research aims to improve the selection and characterization of small molecule-binding aptamers and ribozymes towards the ultimate goal of developing both in vitro and in vivo biosensors for high-throughput drug screening and disease diagnosis.
