Profile Summary

I joined University of Kent, UK as a group leader since 2015 and aim for projects merging my dual backgrounds, cell biology and molecular systems biology. I am interested in synthetic and mathematical approaches to study feedback loops in membrane domain organisation. My long term scientific goal is to bridge disciplines for quantitative understanding of intracellular membrane trafficking. I did my BSc studies in National Taiwan University in 2002. I continued postgraduate studies in the Molecular Biology Program, University of Goettingen, Germany, and received an MSc in Biochemistry mentored by Dr Jobst Landgrebe (2004-2006). I developed a strong interest in cell biology and contributed to the early findings in exosome biogenesis during his PhD curriculum in Prof Mikael Simons' lab at the Max-Planck Institute for Experimental Medicine (2006-2010). Later he broadened his research interest into molecular systems biology. He joined Prof Attila Becskei's group in University of Zurich (2010-2011) and University of Basel (Biozentrum, 2011-2015), Switzerland and was awarded the long-term fellowship from Human Frontier Science Program (2011-2014) to study system stability, cellular memory, and stochastic/deterministic factors in transcriptional auto-regulatory circuits. Currently I work on the following research projects: 1. Synthetic cell biology: disentangling feedbacks in membrane organisation 2. Engineering a molecule operated switch for bio-manufacturing with yeast cells 3. Developing robust biosensors with improved bistable positive feedback loop 4. An evolutionary synthetic model on adaptation of switching rate between activities in gene regulatory network I'm very interested in different levels of collaboration projects, especially with industries in the bio-processing areas. Please feel free to contact me if you would like to know more. Expertise: Synthetic biology, molecular systems biology; dynamical systems; transcriptional regulatory networks; stochastic simulation; membrane trafficking; exosomes.
