Brief Biography:

Guichi completed his doctoral studies in Biomedical Engineering at Université de Montréal in January 2022, after which he decided to continue his journey by remaining within the same lab for his first postdoctoral research until July 2023. Then join Prof. Yingfu Li’s lab in August 2023 for the second period of postdoctoral research. Outside of the lab, Guichi loves playing and watching tennis, as well as skiing, hiking, badminton, and swimming.

Research Interests:

Aptamer/DNAzyme selection, Pathogen diagnosis, Electrochemical DNA sensor, DNA-based isothermal amplification technology.
