During my time as a graduate student, I developed new and efficient base editors using our rapid and continuous protein directed evolution system known as PACE (phage assisted continuous evolution).

Following my graduation, I partnered with Professor Caixia Gao and co-founded Qi Biodesign. Most recently, I have published studies on new gene editing technologies and plant editing capabilities in Cell and Nature Biotechnology as a co-corresponding author. I was fortunate to be selected to be on the Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia Pacific and MIT Technology Review Innovators Under 35 Asia lists.
