Senior🎓
Top SchoolJenny Qu is a PhD-trained bioengineer and scientific writer based in Los Angeles with 14 years of research experience at the intersection of synthetic biology, mechanobiology, and cancer immunoengineering. Her work spans ultrasound-inducible gene circuits, CAR-T design, CRISPR screening, 3D bioprinted tumor models, and mechanogenetic control of immune responses across bacterial, mammalian, and in vivo systems. She combines systems-level engineering with hands-on mechanotransduction assays (e.g., FRET biosensors, YAP signaling) to tackle cancer stem cell and immunotherapy challenges. As Scientific Writer and Blog Editor at Geekheal, she translates complex experimental insights for broader scientific and biotech audiences. Persistent curiosity drives her to bridge bench innovation and translational impact, often seeking cross-disciplinary collaborators in synthetic biology and immunoengineering.
