自己紹介：
I have the coolest job ever! why? Because I have a refrigerator full of more than 100 chemicals. In the morning, I mix these chemicals and let them react to make nanoparticles containing medicinal agents such as mRNA. In the afternoon after I have my lunch, I test the effect of these nanoparticles on cells and tissues. The process is like cooking and trying different recipes to make the most delicious dish. The big difference is that instead of tasting the product, I test it using other tools such as a microscope and cell culture or on animals. I keep repeating this process every day until I discover the best recipe that gives the best therapeutic effect. Sometimes this takes very long time up to years, but the process is fun. And when I discover a new drug, the feeling is very rewarding because this drug can potentially save the lives of patients in the future!
