Biography

Dr. Gao’s research focuses on: microfluidics-based cell analysis, microdroplet reaction, MALDI imaging, LC-MS based metabolomics, and proteomics. To date, she has published more than 40 papers in Anal Chem, Lab Chip, Trends in Anal Chem, Proteomics and other journals. In the field of microfluidics, she firstly established the microfluidic-mass spectrometry combination system for online cell, cell-cell co-culture, or drug analysis. Compared with conventional chemical reactions, the developed novel microdroplet reaction is highly controllable, the reaction rate is significantly accelerated, and the reaction conditions are extremely mild. Dr. Gao has received funding awards from the Natural Science Foundation of China, the Natural Science Foundation of China (Youth Fund), the Natural Science Foundation of Guangdong Province, and the China Postdoctoral Science Foundation.
