Talks & Presentations

Conference presentations, invited talks, and seminars

Mapping Dynamics and Activity at the Replication Junction

Event: SMBio25 West
Location: Palo Alto, CA

Presented the development of C-DAM method and revealed the surprisingly dynamic nature of DNA polymerase, which rapidly exchanges at the replication fork, challenging the stable replisome paradigm.

Investigating Viral DNA Packaging Motor Mechanisms

Event: Damon Runyon Annual Retreat 2025
Location: Boston, MA

Presented postdoctoral research on viral DNA packaging motors using single-molecule force spectroscopy and fluorescence techniques at the prestigious Damon Runyon Annual Retreat. Connected with Fellows from diverse cancer research areas and explored potential collaborations on nature-inspired molecular motors.

Correlated Single-Molecule Study of DNA Replication

Event: NWO Life 2022 Conference
Location: Egmond aan Zee, Netherlands

Presented PhD work on single-molecule DNA replication, demonstrating how correlating mechanical distance from dual optical tweezers with fluorescence imaging from confocal microscopy reveals efficient DNA replication dynamics.

Grab, Manipulate and Watch Single DNA Molecule Replication

Event: 66th Annual Meeting of the Biophysical Society (BPS 2022)
Location: San Francisco, CA

Presented PhD work at BPS 2022 demonstrating how to use two independent yet correlative measurements from force data and image data to gain extra insight into DNA replication mechanisms.
