My Vo, Ph.D.
Education:
B.S., Biochemistry, Washington State University, 1996
Ph.D., Chemistry, University of Minnesota, 2007
Current Research Focus:
The NH2-terminal catalytic fragment of human tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase (mini-TyrRS) has been shown to regulate angiogenesis. My research is focused on understanding the mechanism of pro-angiogenic function of mini-TyrRS.
Academic Honors:
NIH Howard Hughes Undergraduate Research Fellowship, 1995-1996
NIH Chemistry/Biochemistry Interface Pre-doctoral Training Grant, 2003-2005
