ABOUT EMILY
I am a plant molecular biologist who is interested in how an organism senses environmental stimuli and coordinately regulates its autonomous organelles (i.e. chloroplasts) to adapt the changing environment. You can learn more about my research in "About Me" and "Publication" tab.
​
I also committed myself as a teacher to inspire more students interested in molecular and cell biology. You can find my teaching philosophy, teaching experiences, and example syllabi in the "Teaching Philosophy" tab.
​
Outside of the lab, I enjoy traveling, knitting/crocheting, and exploring new restaurants and different types of food!

Emily has started her new job at Columbia University Medical Center
After graduated from Duke University this July, she has relocated to NYC for her new postdoctoral research associate position at Dr. Liza Pon's Lab. She is currently working on establishing BioID system in yeast and use this method to identify protein networks involved in compensation/adaptation when lipid is imbalanced in yeast. Hopefully this approach will provide us more information regarding this new pathway.
