I graduated from Duke University in 2026 with a B.S. in Chemistry and a concentration in Chemical Biology. My undergraduate work focused on the synthesis and characterization of peptide ligands for the E3 ubiquitin ligase Nedd4. My current work in the Li Lab centers on developing capped mRNAs and using nucleotide modifications to improve mRNA stability and translation efficiency. Outside of the lab, I enjoy reading, hiking, cooking, and playing video games.
