博士研究生/ Graduate Researcher | 爱丁堡大学/ The University of Edinburgh
工作内容:
• 建立了与包括加拿大国家中子中心、 劳厄-朗之万研究所(法国)、Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin(HZB德国)、巴斯大学、拉塞福-阿普顿实验室、格拉斯哥大学和罗斯林研究所(英国)在内的7所国际知名科研中心的学术合作,并多次获得中子机构给予的科研经费。期间与10多个由多学科人员组成的当地团队一起工作,与主要人员建立了长期合作关系。
• 通过物理学和数据分析来研究艾滋海默症病理。物理学采用包括光学、分子运动学和中子衍射等一系列物理学原理来学习该病病原淀粉样蛋白的物理结构及结构变化,以及该蛋白在不同结构下对细胞磷脂层的作用;数学主要应用傅立叶变化将由中子衍射发出的信号转变为磷脂分子模型,进而分析磷脂在淀粉样蛋白作用下的变化。博士毕业论文:淀粉样蛋白和磷脂细胞的相互作用关系。
• 创立了体外控制淀粉样蛋白聚集的方法。
• 改进并完善了利用Langmuir膜和布鲁斯特角显微镜来观测磷脂单分子层在水与空气交接面的状态的方法。
Studied the mechanism of Alzheimer’s disease using biophysics and advanced analytics
Thesis title: The inter between Amyloid beta peptide and lipid membranes
• Established collaborations with 7 world-renowned institutes including Canadian Neutron Beam Centre, The Institute Laue-Langevin, Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin, University of Bath, Rutherford on Laboratory, University of Glasgow and the Roslin Institute
• Worked in 10+ multidisciplinary teams in Europe and Canada to identify the structural characteristics of amyloid protein and the biophysics of protein-lipid inters received neutron beam time al and traveling grants from neutron scattering facilities
• Performed mathematical analysis based on Fourier transform to generate membrane profile from neutron diffr data sets and predict protein penetration position
• Created a novel methodology to protein folding rate in non-physiological environments
• Improved Langmuir trough and Brewster Angle Microscopy techniques to monitor lipid mono dynamics at air-water interface
