Biography

As an undergraduate studying Chemistry and Life Sciences in Taiwan, I engaged in a structural biology study about the crystal structure determination of mitochondrial nuclease MGME1. This study revealed the molecular mechanism of MGME1's function in mtDNA maintenance and motivated me to extend my knowledge of structural biology and mitochondrial biology in the Mitochondrial Biology Unit at the University of Cambridge. My future research will focus on using Cryo-EM for determining the structure of human mitochondrial ATP/ADP carriers, which play a vital role in cellular energy production. I hope my research can not only uncover the molecular mechanism of mitochondrial functions but also promote mitochondria-targeting drug discovery for the betterment of human health. Besides research, I wish that I could contribute to the scientific education in my hometown, Tainan. I want to facilitate the collaboration between local universities and high schools, making the scientific resources available for any potential and motivated young scientists. I am thrilled to meet all Gates Cambridge Scholars in this fantastic academic community.
