Specialist: Analyzed protein, DNA, RNA and small molecules by Electrospray-MS, MALDI-
MS; synthesized/purified oligoribonucleotides, oligonucleotides, and peptide nucleic acids by
HPLC; developed new methods to study protein-protein complexes and enzyme-inhibitor
complexes by MALDI-MS.
Sept. 1997-Dec. 1998, CARB, University of Maryland Biotechnology Institutes, Rockville,
MD.
Postdoctoral Research Associate: Synthesized/purified ribonucleoside phosphoramidites and
oligoribonucleotides.
1991-1997, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD,
Research Assistant: Designed and synthesized heterocyclic compounds including anti-cancer
drugs; studied the reaction mechanisms of anti-cancer drugs based on heterocyclic diazonium
ions by FT-NMR, FT-IR, TLC.
Synthesized aliphatic nitroso- and nitro-compounds and triazenes; studied the thermal and
photochemical decomposition of these compounds by NMR.
