Yichi Su, Ph.D.
Principal Investigator
Institute for Translational Brain Research / Zhongshan Hospital
Shanghai Medical College of Fudan University
Yichi received his B.S. degree in chemical biology from Peking University in 2013. He then trained with Dr. Ming C. Hammond at the University of California, Berkeley, where he worked on engineering RNA-based biosensors to sense metabolites and secondary messengers. After earning his Ph.D. degree in Chemistry in 2018, Yichi conducted postdoctoral research in bioluminescent protein engineering for in vivo imaging applications with Dr. Michael Z. Lin at Stanford University. In the fall of 2023, Yichi joined ITBR at Fudan University to to establish the MINDSuLab, dedicated to protein engineering and its applications in brain disease research.
