WORK EXPERIENCE

Postdoctoral Researcher

The Ohio State University - May 2011 to Present

CANPBD)

Two and a half years post-Ph.D experience in cell reprogramming, drug delivery and medical device

development. Prioritized multitasks while consistently meeting project deadlines. Contributed to proposal

writing. Built and maintained collaborations.

• Successfully generated induced neuron from embryonic and adult fibroblast cells with nonviral method,

achieving low tumorgenicity and mutation compared with traditional viral method.

• Developed a non-invasive detection method, tethered cationic lipoplex nanoparticles biochip, to

simultaneously captures and characterize tumor biomarkers such as circulating tumors cells and exosomes.

Significantly increased the sensitivity and decreased the cost of early cancer diagnosis and surveillance.

• Fabricated a multifunctional device by combining release chamber and cell microencapsulation for therapeutic

and pharmaceutics applications, such as treating diabetics and monitoring inflammation.

• Delivered periodic presentation of results and works in progress to advisor and coworkers.

• Supervised and trained five intern undergraduate students and guided two thesis writing.
