Favorite bioexperiment: As a basic biochemist with speciality in signal transduction, my favorite bioexperiments are mass spectrometry and western blotting analysis. Mass spectrometry has the power to reveal variety of post-translational modifications on protein with interest, including phosphorylation, acetylation and ubiquitination;with the help of great antibodies, all these novel findings could be further validated with western blotting analysis.
Brief description of your iGEM journey: It’s amazing. I am amazed by my fantastic colleague (Co-PI), who provides sincere help in every step of the journey for the success of the whole team. I am amazed by my undergraduate teammates, who exhibit tremendous capapility, responsibility and persistence during the course of the project. I am amazed by the global influential power of the iGEM, and am very proud of myself as part of it in 2018 competition event.
