Youzhong Wan
As the Second PI of the team, I have a profound interest in cancer
biology, especially the regulation of cancer-related pathways by
mutations in RNA splicing factors. I hope to do my best to provide
academic guidance and assistance to students. Some students may be
in lower grades and just started to engage in scientific research.
I will help them cultivate good experimental habits to give them a
good start in research. For students interested in scientific
research, we often discuss issues together to feel the collision
and resonance of thinking. I hope we can all go further and
further on the road of synthetic biology!
