Bio
Dr. Yuhong Cao received her B.S. in Chemistry from Linfield College, USA, and her Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from Stanford University, where she developed a nondestructive nanostraw platform for longitudinal live-cell sampling under the supervision of Prof. Nicholas Melosh.
She carried out postdoctoral research on CRISPR–Cas–based T cell engineering with Prof. Peidong Yang, in collaboration with Prof. Jennifer Doudna at the University of California, Berkeley, and later continued her training with Prof. Steven Chu at Stanford University.
Dr. Cao is currently a Principal Investigator at the National Center for Nanoscience and Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Her lab develops next-generation RNA and nanodelivery technologies to enable precise control of gene expression across biological systems, with applications in medicine, agriculture, and programmable bio-manufacturing.
