Dr Zhuojun Dai received her Bachelor degree from Zhejiang University. She obtained PhD degree in chemistry from The Chinese University of Hong Kong under the supervision of Prof Chi Wu, where she investigated the polymer chain dynamics, interactions between the polycations and polyanions from the view of polymer physics. Then, she undertook postdoctoral training at the Department of Biomedical Engineering, Duke University in Prof Lingchong You's lab, where she integrated the tools from synthetic biology and material science to build a versatile manufacturing platform. Since Sep, 2018, she started her lab in iSynBio, focusing on the living fabrications by the engineered bacteria.
