Yu Wang
Yu Wang joined the Goodwin
laboratory in December 2007. She is from the Jilin province of
China, and she has
come to us by way of Jilin University where she majored in Biochemistry
and Molecular Biology. She has served as a research associate in
the Biology Experiment Center, the Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
Laboratory, and the Macromolecular Biology Laboratory of Jilin
University. She received a third-place award for her
participation in the Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program of
Jilin University, and she was identified as an Academic Excellence
Scholar for every semester she was a student at the the
university. Her research thus far has involved work on
Te-containing glutathione peroxidase mimics as well as genetic
diversity in the cytochrome P450 CYP2C9 and its implications for drug
metabolism. Her background dovetails very nicely with the work of
the Goodwin laboratory, and we are very glad to have her. We look
forward to great contributions from Yu Wang.
