I’m excited to share that our recent research on Candida auris has been featured in Drug Target Review.

Integrated proteo-transcriptomics reveals multiple therapeutic targets in Candida auris
🎉🎉🎉 I still can’t believe this is real. I got the cover of the February issue of Nature Microbiology — what an honor. This feels especially wonderful right before the Lunar New Year holiday.
This year was challenging in many ways, but incredibly fruitful for our family. Both of my parents’ “kids” graduated—my dear sister and me. My sister became valedictorian in dental school and also ranked top 1 in the residency entrance exam.
We are deeply grateful for this journey. We will keep working hard, stay motivated, and move forward into the future.

⏳ It was a pleasure presenting my recent work on antifungal drug resistance and skin tropism in Candida auris to the Innovative BioScience Group last Sundayy.

I presented the White-Brown switching at the Candida and Candidiasis 2025 in Berlin.
I presented the carbonic sensing pathway as a Poster Slam at the annual symposium organized by the Young Scientist Association at the Medical University of Vienna.
Thrilled to share some fantastic news! I am incredibly honored and grateful to be the recipient of the esteemed Bernd Rode Award 2024, presented by ASEA-UNINET. I owe immense gratitude to Prof. Karl Kuchler for his invaluable guidance and mentoring, which has been instrumental in my success. I extend my heartfelt thanks to Prof. Adelheid Elbe-Bürger, all collaborators, the lab members (current and former), and the Tissue Home PhD Program members for their support and encouragement throughout my journey. This achievement would not have been possible without their incredible support and collaboration.
We presented my current works from PhD Project at Candida and Candidiasis 2023. The topic is the discovery of a prospective bZIP master regulator Rom1 and White-Brown switching in the pathogenicity of Candida auris.
I am incredibly grateful to ESCMID - European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases for recognizing my work and including me in this list. It is truly an honor to be among such accomplished individuals. As a young scientist, this recognition inspires me to keep pushing the boundaries of my research and strive for excellence.
