 | Zhi (John) Lu, a post-doc in Yale University.
I got my ph.D. in biophysics from University of Rochester. I came from University of Science and Technology of China to U.S. four years ago, where I earned my B.S. degree of Biosciences. Now I am a fifth year graduate student in David Mathews' lab. Our group is a bioinformatics group working on RNA structure prediction. RNA is found to be playing many important roles in cellular function. For example, it can form tertiary structures that, like proteins, can be catalytic. RNAStructure, a software package for RNA secondary structure prediction, is developed by Mathews' group. My ph.D. research is to improve siRNA design in RNA interference and to find new non-coding genes in varied genomes. I am enjoying the scientific atmosphere in the biophysics cluster here. Also, I am living in a friendly Chinese community (CSSA) in University of Rochester. You are welcome to contact me for any questions. See more
