Mentored by Dr. Mary Dunlop in the department of biomedical engineering, the first aspect of my PhD research focused on developing a novel synthetic biology tool, transcription factor sponge, enabling high cell line productivity, stability and multiplexed transcriptional regulation for small molecules bio-production. The second aspect of my research focused on understanding antibiotic resistance mechanism with computational biology approach.
