Lu Jia

EDUCATION

M.S. Biochemistry and Cell Biology, Stony Brook University, 2022

B.S. Biological Sciences, Zhejiang University, 2020

SUMMARY

Lu received a B.S. in Biological Sciences from Zhejiang University in China, and she worked in Dr. Wan-Xi Yang’s lab to study cell junction maintenance in spermatogenesis. Lu then completed her M.S. in Biochemistry and Cell Biology at Stony Brook University (SBU), and she conducted research in Dr. Chi-Kuo Hu’s lab, focusing on RNA profiling in embryonic diapause. Currently, Lu is pursuing her Ph.D. in Molecular and Cell Biology at SBU and has recently joined the Krainer Lab in 2023. Her research interests revolve around understanding alternative splicing patterns in pathological conditions and developing antisense oligonucleotide therapies. 

Outside of lab, Lu enjoys comedy shows, baking, and DIY projects.
