Yi-Chun Yeh received her Ph.D. in the Chemistry Department of Stanford University, USA, in Dec of 2010. Following graduation, she worked as a postdoc fellow at the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab from Jan 2011 to July 2012. She has now held a Professorship in the Chemistry Department of National Taiwan Normal University (NTNU), Taiwan since Aug. of 2019. Her research interests include protein engineering, whole-cell-based biosensors, and nanomaterial-based sensors.
The use of engineered microorganisms/proteins in detecting environmental pollutants has attracted considerable attention due to this approach's low cost, high specificity, and robustness.
Our research lab is dedicated to leveraging engineered microorganisms to detect environmental pollutants. We specialize in developing innovative techniques and methodologies to address the pressing challenges in this field. Our team is committed to advancing the understanding of microorganism behavior and its application in environmental monitoring and remediation. We aim to make a meaningful contribution to the sustainable management of ecological resources.
