Liang Yajing

Accomplished and skilled Postdoctoral Research Fellow with extensive experience in collaborative laboratory settings. My training provides me with the ability to effectively communicate complex scientific concepts to diverse audiences, including those outside my field. I am eager to explore new opportunities that will allow me to broaden my horizons, leverage my expertise, and further nurture my passion for research and scientific communication.
