BIOGRAPHY AND RESEARCH INTERESTS
Education
B.S. in Physics, University of Science and Technology of China, 2003
Ph.D. in Physics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009
Postdoc in Chemical and Systems Biology, Stanford University, 2013
Honors and Awards
2017 Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Research Fellowship
2016-21 NIH MIRA Award (for New and Early Stage Investigators)
2015-20 NSF CAREER Award
2013-14 The Burroughs Wellcome Fund CRTG Grant
2013, 2012 The Helena Anna Henzl-Gabor Young Women in Science
2011-13 HHMI Fellow of the Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation
2010 Stanford Dean’s Postdoctoral Fellowship
2009 Center for the Physics of Living Cells Fellow, UIUC (declined)
2011, 08 The q-Bio Conference and Summer School Fellowships
2008 MIT GSC Travel Fund Grant
2006 MIT Graduate WIP Travel Grant
Research Interests:
We are broadly interested in quantitative understanding of zebrafish early embryo development. By connecting the understanding at the molecule, cellular, and tissue levels, we pin down the physical mechanisms that give rise to collective spatio-temporal patterns that arise from complex interactive networks of cells and molecules through biochemical signals and mechanical forces.
Currently, we're recruiting talented and motivated people. Please visit our lab webpage (http://www-personal.umich.edu/~qiongy/) for further information.
