Yuan Fang, PhD
Research Scientist
Biography
Yuan received her Ph.D. in Applied Chemistry from Nanjing Tech University, China, where her research focused on the synthesis and application of rhodamine-based small-molecule chemosensors for detecting toxic heavy metal ions. In 2017, she joined Dr. Cliff Stains group as a Postdoctoral Fellow and was promoted to Research Associate in 2023. Currently, her work focuses on developing novel near-infrared fluorophore scaffolds as bioimaging reagents for proteins, small molecules, and post-translational modifications.
