She completed her Postdoctoral training in the center for Synthetic Biology at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where she worked on developing synthetic gene circuits to reprogram the function and behavior of mammalian cells based on the Clustered Regularly Interspaced short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)/Cas9 technology. Her lab is interested in developing synthetic gene circuits using the Cas9/gRNA engineering strategies to edit/modulate endogenous genes or transgenes in human cells towards reprogramming cellular fate/function. She is the recipient of DARPA Young Faculty award for developing synthetic biology tools for gene therapies.
