Scalable fabrication of on-chip Li CO2 batteries for efficient electrocatalysts screening and energy storage mechanism study
The gradual depletion of fossil fuels and continuous emissions of greenhouse gas are two major energy and environmental problems that confront the world. To solve these worldwide i...
The evolution of mobile genetic elements in Gram-negative bacteria
I will explore how structural variation can be used to understand the evolution of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) on mobile genetic elements (MGEs). Most previous research is biase...
Don't sugarcoat it: understanding and targeting glycosylation changes in pancreatic and liver cancers
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are leading causes of cancer-related deaths. Despite knowing these cancers’ driver mutations, there are n...
Estimating the health co-benefits from climate action
There is evidence that the global value of health co-benefits that result from climate action, are greater than the financial costs of mitigation measures around climate change.How...
