Biography
Dr. Ling received his bachelor’s degree in Biology from Fudan University in China, and obtained his Ph.D. in biochemistry from The Ohio State University. During his Ph.D. work, Dr. Ling was mentored by Dr. Michael Ibba to study the quality control mechanism of protein synthesis. He then joined Dr. Dieter Söll’s laboratory in 2008 for postdoctoral training at Yale University, where he studied mistranslation, protein aggregation, and evolution/expansion of the genetic code.
