Work Experience:

Research Assistant, Dr. Li Zhang, Jan 2013 present

In order to study the heme regulation of a disease-related protein, I have designed and constructed mutants of the gene. I then purified the protein mutants and studied them using spectroscopy, affinity binding, 2D PAGE, and other techniques. I have narrowed down the region important for heme regulation and am preparing for publication.
