PhD student
Lingting Shi is a fourth-year graduate student in the department of biomedical engineering. She received a BS in biomedical engineering at Rutgers University where she worked on developing an in vitro approach to identify skin sensitizers to eliminate animal cosmetic testing in Dr. Martin Yarmush’s Lab. After graduation, she joined Dr. Lance Kam’s lab to study mechanosensing of regulatory T cell induction with single-cell analysis. She enjoys working on both cell culture side and computational side of the project. Her goal is to generate a large number of functional Tregs to assist in the treatment of autoimmune diseases.
