Ting-Yu Lin

I am interested in movies and traveling and passionate about science. I obtained my PhD in Taiwan and have worked in US and Japan as a postdoctoral researcher; now I am working on Elongator-mediated tRNA modification mechanism with the support of Homing program from Foundation for Polish Science (FNP) in Poland.
