PROF 1 |
| In 2000, I started my independent academic career as an Assistant Professor at Washington State University, and I was promoted to Associate Professor with tenure in 2006. In 2007, my laboratory moved to the Barnett Institute and Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Northeastern University in Boston. Currently, our research focuses on two areas at the interface of chemistry and biology. One area is to devise new methodologies to characterize protein post-translational modifications, such as methylation and deamidation. A second program area is the mechanistic study of enzymes and inhibitor synthesis, targeting bacterial biofilm formation, for example. In this presentation, I will talk about my academic career development and share some of my experiences, for instance, how to manage technology transfer and industrial collaboration, and more importantly, how to find a mentor and set priorities. |
