Bio
Hang is a new student pursuing Ph.D. training at Indiana University Bloomington. He finished his bachelor’s degree at Purdue university majored in Pharmaceutical Science with a chemistry minor. His academic and research experiences at Purdue have influenced his interest in neurosciences, specifically in understanding how the nervous system affects human behavior and diseases. During his time at Purdue, Hang conducted research in Dr. Hudmon's lab, focusing on the study of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII), a protein crucial to synaptic plasticity. This research allowed Hang to sharpen his skills in molecular biology techniques and gain a deeper understanding of kinase mechanisms. At Indiana University, Hang will be conducting research in Dr. Prieto's lab as part of his Ph.D. training. In this lab, he will be investigating the activity of Receptor Tyrosine Kinases (RTKs).
