Ping Gong

Ping Gong has several years of work experience in various scientific research roles. They began their career as an Undergraduate Research Assistant at Northwest University, where they focused on the expression, purification, and characterization of Metallo-β-lactamase L1. They also validated the potency of enzyme inhibitors using UV-vis spectrometry and isothermal titration calorimetry.

After completing their undergraduate degree, Ping Gong joined the University of Delaware as a Graduate Research Assistant. In this role, they developed chemical methods for conjugating a defined ubiquitin chain on the target protein PCNA, and designed polyUb-PCNA photo cross-linking probes to capture transient interacting proteins. They also conducted proteomics analyses and kinetic studies to study interactions and enzymatic activity.

Ping Gong then transitioned to PPD, where they held multiple positions. They started as a Senior Scientist before becoming an Assistant Research Scientist. At PPD, they contributed to various research projects and developed expertise in molecular biology techniques.

Most recently, Ping Gong joined Molecular Templates as a Scientist. In this role, they are responsible for developing bio-conjugation approaches for Antibody Drug Conjugates (ADCs) and Antibody RNA Conjugates (ARCs) and conducting mid-scale conjugation, purification, and characterization for pre-clinical studies.

Overall, Ping Gong has a strong background in scientific research and has gained extensive experience in protein conjugation, protein-protein interactions, enzymatic activity analysis, and molecular biology techniques.

Ping Gong attended Northwest University from 2007 to 2011, where they obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry. Ping then pursued further education at the University of Delaware from 2011 to 2017, completing a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree in Biochemistry.
