What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that fosters innovation and growth in biomedical research.

I am a dedicated researcher with a Ph.D. in Molecular Medicine and Biochemical Engineering from National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University. My work focuses on the therapeutic potential of stem cell-derived exosomes in regenerative medicine, where I investigate their immune-modulatory effects and design experiments to understand exosome biogenesis and functionality in disease models.

Throughout my academic journey, I have developed a strong foundation in wet lab techniques, including PCR, NGS workflows, and statistical analysis. I have authored several publications in reputable journals, contributing to the understanding of neurodegenerative diseases and the tumorigenic functions of ERBB receptors. My commitment to advancing scientific knowledge is reflected in my numerous awards and honors, including the Ministry of Science and Technology Outstanding Ph.D. Students Scholarship.
