Cindy grew up in Hefei, China. She graduated with a B.S. in Biological Sciences from the University of California, Davis, and a M.S. in Environmental Sciences from Emory University. As a graduate researcher in Dr. Eri Saikawa’s lab, she studied heavy metal soil contamination and developed phytostabilization methods for lead remediation. Upon graduating, she worked […]

Our work on multiplexed protease activity sensors conjugated to checkpoint antibodies to discriminate early responses and resistance to immune checkpoint blockade was published in Nature Biomedical Engineering! Congratulations to Quoc, Anirudh, and the team! Read the full manuscript here. Summary | Since 2014, the FDA has approved 7 immune checkpoint inhibitors, but not all patients […]

Our work on antigen-presenting nanoparticles that allow rapid ligand exchange for mRNA delivery to multiple antigen-specific T cells in vivo was published in Science Advances! Congratulations to Ida and the team! Read the full manuscript here.

Congrats to the now-Dr. Brandon Holt, who successfully defended his thesis entitled “Activity-based molecular circuits for programmable medicine” in front of his committee, friends, and family!

Our work on mathematical modeling to predict prodrug escape and treatment success of protease-activated antibacterial prodrugs was published in Molecular Systems Biology! Congratulations to Brandon and the team! Read the full manuscript here.
