  mentoring_philosophy: 'As a professor for more than 22 years, I enjoy working with the motivated students. I feel really good when I see my young trainees growing intellectually and professionally. During my career, I have trained about undergraduate researchers in my labs at the Ohio State University and here. The general pattern is that the GPAs of my undergraduate researchers were/are higher after working in my labs.'

  overall_research_project_description: 'Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) persists as one of the top ten leading causes of death in certain populations. One significant feature of HIV is its ability to mutate with high frequency, garnering resistance to many historical and current anti-HIV medications. Our research aims to investigate the kinetics of the novel nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI), Islatravir, with HIV reverse transcriptase (RT) mutants or human DNA polymerases. Islatravir is undergoing multiple phase II and III clinical trials by Merck, Inc. Our research efforts will help Merck to understand the inhibitory mechanism and potential toxicity of Islatravir at molecular level.'
