Biography

Shuo began graduate studies and research in Biophysical Chemistry under the direction of Dr. W. David Wilson at Georgia State University since August 2009. During her Ph.D. program, Shuo was investigating a range of designed small molecules that interact with different sequences and structures of DNA and have shown excellent therapeutic activities by forming complexes in the DNA minor groove. She was also interested in modulating DNA-transcription factor interactions with minor groove binders. Shuo was nominated as a Center for Diagnostics and Therapeutics (CDT) graduate fellow from 2012-2014. After obtained her Ph.D. degree in July 2014, she started working in Takeda California as a Staff Scientist focusing on biophysical assays for drug design.
