Chilkoti Group Staff

Xinghai Li

Xinghai is a research technician working with Wenge on animal model design, drug delivery, and protein radio labels. He comes from Beijing by way of Chapel Hill where he worked in a lab at UNC-CH doing molecular biology. Xinghai enjoys Durham and Duke so far; when he's not working he likes to read, swim or perhaps play a game of Go. At some point we will have a phone number to post beside his picture!

Amy is the Chilkoti Group Program Coordinator; or in other words, she is "a pioneer exploring the wild blue yonder that is the administrative side of the Chilkoti Lab."  To phrase it yet again, she keeps the machine running as if it were continually operating on a fresh oil change.  She recently came to us from the BME Department where she was a PARIS Administrator.  Also, she is extremely keen on kitchen design and has nursing training.  All these skills are put to good use in the Chilkoti Lab where she keeps everyone's spending habits in line; enforces the lab intranet with Vicky, her co-conspirator; and ultimately unveils the ultra-exclusive and uber-fancy Chilkoti Group Website Version 3.0!

Vicky is the Chilkoti Lab Manager!  Originally from Colombia, she came to the States for graduate school at Purdue University.  She spent some time after grad school in the biotech industry and also was involved in her own start-up company.  Now she's on a mission to provide some much needed organization in the Chilkoti Lab!
