Molecular and Cellular Physiology
synaptic transmission, cryo-electron tomography, protein engineering

Hey, I'm Jiahao (pronounced Ja-ho)! I grew up in the bay area and graduated from UC Santa Barbara in 2016. Afterwards, I worked for 3.5 years as a lab manager/technician until I started my Ph.D. at Stanford. I'm a co-mentored student in the labs of Axel Brunger and Liang Feng studying how the nanoscale distribution and organization of proteins at the synapse have a functional affect on synaptic transmission. To do so, I'm building fun molecular tools for cryo-electron tomography!
