Lingling Yao, Ph.D.

Staff Scientist

Personal Statement

I trained in clinical medicine with my research background established in the fields of human physiology, biochemistry, and neuroscience. I have a passion for technology that benefits medical progress and affects health. Joining CTL gave me the opportunity to apply this passion to the field of immunology, as CTL provides a powerful platform for immune monitoring as it applies to our adaptation to the quickly changing bio-environment. I am devoting my acknowledge and efforts in CTL’s R&D Department hoping to contribute to furthering science in the short run, and eventually health care.
