2025 Winter

I joined Dr. Lin, Wei-Hsiang’s molecular biology lab in January of 2025, and was assigned a short project, which I completed while outside the country. This work is unfinished.

2025 Spring Term

My project concerns the allocation of resources in a cell. The details are not disclosed, but you may see some pretty graphs from the research. Cells have to make more cells, and this is done through the help of ribosomes, which are thus autocatalytic machines, i.e. in addition to making proteins for the cell, they must also make themselves. The main topic of interest is how cells allocate their resources to optimize the efficiency of this autocatalytic process.
