Over the last decade, I have gained significant expertise in RNA therapeutics for the treatment of cancer. Using RNA nanotechnology, I have constructed several RNA nanoparticles with defined structure and stoichiometry to carry multiple functionalities for regulating cellular functions (Molecular Therapy, 2019; ACS Nano, 2019; ACS Nano, 2015; Nature Nanotechnology, 2011; Nano Today, 2011; Nano Letters, 2004). In addition, I have plenty of experience in single molecule biophysical techniques, such as FRET for understanding the structure-function relationship of RNA motifs (ACS Nano, 2010; EMBO Journal, 2007; RNA, 2007). My long-term objective is to focus on the development and translation of RNA nanotechnology-based products into clinical trials. I have extensive experience in cancer biology, animal model development and RNA therapeutics, which will ensure the success of this proposal.
