Heng (Vivien) Yu

I am from Shanghai China and currently taking my graduate study in Biomedical Engineering at Tulane University. My research interests include biomedical ultrasound, medical instrument, bioMEMS, etc. I have plenty experience of cell culture, in vivo/ vitro (rabbit, mouse, rat) experiments. I have also performed biomolecular and biomechanical assays like western blot, muscle tension test, etc. Currently, I am working on molecular analysis related to High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) experiments in Dr. Khismatullin's laboratory. I enjoy my research work.

In my spare time, I like cooking and traveling. I also enjoy being a volunteer and doing social work. I used to be a volunteer of World EXPO in Shanghai China and a volunteer in St. Joseph Hospital in Phoenix, Arizona. I hope that will enrich my life.
