Postdoctoral Fellow
Georgia Institute of Technology, United States
Fang-Yi “Ida” Su is a postdoctoral fellow in the laboratory of Dr. Gabe Kwong at Georgia Tech and Emory School of Medicine. Prior to her postdoctoral training, she received her Ph.D. in bioengineering from the University of Washington with Dr. Patrick Stayton, and her M.S. in chemical engineering with Dr. Hsing-Wen Sung from National Tsing Hua University in Taiwan. In her postdoc work, she has developed a lipid nanoparticle-based delivery system, termed Antigen-Presenting Nanoparticles, APNs, to selectively deliver mRNA to disease-relevant T cell subsets in vivo and program their functionalities. This modular delivery system opens the opportunities to engineer T cells in vivo to improve the treatments for cancer, autoimmune diseases, and more. In recognition of her work, Dr. Su has been honored with notable awards including a postdoctoral fellowship jointly provided by Georgia Tech and Peking University (China), the HHMI International Student Research Fellowship, and the MOE Technologies Incubation Scholarship from the Taiwanese Government. Her career goals are to lead a research lab and address unmet clinical needs in cancer, infectious diseases, and autoimmunity.
