Shasha earned her Bachelor of Science in biology in the Honored Undergraduate Program in Biology (HUPB) at Peking University in Beijing, China. She conducted research on developing a neuron membrane voltage sensor. The molecular engineering and biochemistry characterization during her undergraduate studies revealed the beauty of protein dynamics. To further observe the protein dynamics in atomistic details, Shasha joined the Im Lab as a Ph.D. student in 2018 and shifted her research to utilizing computational tools for understanding biological phenomena related to lipid membranes and membrane proteins.
