个人简介

Dr. Chen received a B.A. in Chemistry from Harvard in 1999, and a Ph.D. in Biophysics from Harvard and an M.D. from Harvard/MIT in 2007. She was a Bauer Fellow in Systems Biology at Harvard from 2007-2012.

研究领域

Biochemistry & Biophysics/Biomedical Sciences/Biology-Inspired Chemistry & Physics

Our mission is the quantitative study and engineering of artificial living systems. We work to achieve a predictive understanding of evolution, with a focus on functional RNAs and their interactions with membranes and proteins. We also study the microbes associated with humans, with a focus on bacteriophages and their potential applications.
