Butterfly eyespot evolution
Cross-species cis-regulatory analysis of Distal-less elements using wing-tissue culture, electroporation, EGFP reporters, and confocal microscopy.
About
I am a B.S. candidate in Bioscience at HUST. My research experience spans insect development, Drosophila genetics and sleep, protein biochemistry, neural circuits, animal behavior, and fluorescence imaging.
I also build small AI-assisted projects for scientific reading, exploration, and learning.
Research
Neural mechanisms of sleep
Drosophila sleep regulation involving Teneurin-a and GABABR3-Gq signaling, studied through genetics, behavioral monitoring, qPCR, and Western blotting.
Multifunctional DNA polymerase GP55
Expression, purification, and biochemical characterization of polymerase, primase, strand-displacement, and exonuclease activities.
