Yen-Ping Hsueh received her undergraduate (2001) and master’s (2003) degrees from National Taiwan University where she majored in Plant Pathology and Microbiology. In 2003, she joined Department of Molecular Genetics and Microbiology at Duke University and conducted her graduate work on the genetics and evolution of the sexual cycle and the mating-type locus of the human fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans under the mentorship of Dr. Joseph Heitman. In 2010, she moved to Caltech and joined Dr. Paul Sternberg’s group as a postdoctoral fellow to study the predator-prey interactions between the nematode-trapping fungi and C. elegans. In 2015, Ping returned to Taiwan and established her independent laboratory at IMB, Academia Sinica. The Hsueh lab studies the predatory-prey interactions between carnivorous fungi and C. elegans and is broadly interested in diverse questions in Biology. We employ multidisciplinary approaches that include genetics, genomics, imaging analyses, computational biology, and biochemistry to address diverse questions of interest in our unique predator-prey systems.
