Chongli Yuan is the Charles Davidson Professor of Chemical Engineering at the Davidson School of Chemical Engineering, Purdue University. She joined Purdue in 2009 after completing a postdoctoral fellowship at ETH Zurich (2007–2009), following her PhD in Chemical Engineering from Cornell University (2007) and a B.S. from East China University of Science and Technology (2002). Her research focuses on epigenetic mechanisms, environmental chemical exposure impacts, cancer drug resistance, and point-of-care diagnostic tools. Key awards include the Edna O. and William C. Hooey Prize (2006) and Dow Scholarship (2001).
Research Interests:
- Developing single-cell tools to track epigenetic changes in disease and normal development
- Investigating epigenetic memory from environmental chemical exposure (e.g., lead, pesticides)
- Uncovering epigenetic contributions to cancer drug resistance
- Creating low-cost, point-of-care devices for disease detection using smartphone-integrated technologies
Lab & Team:
- Current students: Agnes Mendonca, Nathan Nurse, Oscar Sanchez Medina, and others
- Alumni include industry professionals (e.g., Sanofi, Intel) and academic researchers
Facilities: The lab hosts advanced equipment like high-content microscopes, quantitative PCR systems, and nano-drop spectrometers.
