Brief Biography:
Jim started research work in the Li lab as an undergraduate working with Ken Schlosser on RNA cleaving DNAzymes doing characterization and selection experiments. He continued his undergraduate studies in the lab working on in vitro selection and bacterial high throughput screening projects for small RNAs. Jim began his Masters work with the lab in 2008 continuing his bacterial screening project and later shifting to in vivo selection for DNA aptamers against cancer cell lines.
"The greatest scientific advance of the last 12 years was…RNA interference"
Research Interests:
My current research interests are in cell selection.
