刘慎方 (Sandra Liu) 的生物工程师之路

当她14岁时,慎方离开台湾到美国旧金山湾区的圣多米尼克高中学习。也许因为它是一个远离城市并隐藏在安静地点的全女子高中,或者也许因为她年轻时曾经到纽西兰和美国参加夏令营,远离她的家庭,独自学习,慎方从来没有觉得不适应。高中毕业後,她前往加州大学伯克利分校,攻读分子细胞和生物学专业。在慎方的课堂上,国际学生很少,所以在她的学习小组中没有任何亲密的朋友来支持她。她独自面对许多具有挑战性的课程。慎方说,她的同学都非常聪明,他们同时也都非常努力学习,以赶上要求严格的课程。毕业後,她在Thermo Fisher Scientific实习,这家公司是全球科学服务领域的领导者。她所属的″应用团队″,专注於为医院或研究人员开发下一代测序应用套件。 後来,她被转换为公司的全职员工。现在,她正在帮助研究优化测序过程,例如试剂保存和缩短测序运行时间。
