Dr. Yichi Su

Yichi Su received his B.S. degree from Peking University, with an interest in developing DNA-based molecular tools for detecting transcription factor activity. Then, he spent five years in pursuing his Ph.D. degree from UC Berkeley, working on engineering RNA-based biosensors to sense metabolites and secondary messengers. As a postdoc scholar in the Lin lab at Stanford University, Yichi has been focused on applying protein engineering and chemical biology to develop basic technology for luminescent biosensing in vivo, especially in the brain.
