After graduation I joined Dr. Fengxia Qi's lab at the Department of Oral Biology, College of Dentistry, University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center as a Research Fellow where I studied oral bacterium Streptococcus mutans. Then, in 2009, I moved to the Department of Microbiology & Molecular Genetics, University of Texas Health Sciences Center in Houston, Texas as a postdoctoral fellow working with Dr. Hung Ton-That to elucidate the mechanism of surface pilus assembly on Gram-positive bacteria. My current research primarily focuses on revealing the molecular mechanisms underlying interspecies interactions between Fusobacterium nucleatum with other oral bacteria.
