EDUCATION AND POSITIONS HELD:

• Ph.D., Department of Chemistry, Florida State University, 1989-1996
• Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Florida State University, 1996–1999

• Associate Research Specialist, Genomics Research Center, Academia Sinica, 2016-present

FACILITY MANAGEMENT / EXPERTISE:

My laboratory works are mainly focusing on the synthesis of biologically active oligosaccharides to support GRC glycan array research programs. A long term goal is to establish a representative glycan library with sufficiently structural complexity and diversity to meet the demand. At present, I am maintaining a small but steadily growing collection of carbohydrate antigens to support glycan array development, such as early diagnosis of infectious diseases and cancers. I also collaborate with researchers in the area of carbohydrate-based vaccine development and glycopeptides synthesis.
