Self-introduction:

My name is Eddie. I had worked in the School of Biomedical Sciences in CUHK as a RA for 4 years. My major study area were probiotics, vaccines, and plasmid design. In December 2023, I joined Dr. Franklin Chow’s lab. Now I am working mainly on the extracellular vesicles of Candida auris. Even through my academic background is not strong, I will endeavor to contribute to the lab. I hope that I can be a strong PhD candidate in the future.
