Fang, Ming (Flora)

About this team member

Flora received a B.S. in chemistry from University of Science and Technology of China in 2008. At USTC, she did research using state of the art Guassian 3 to study quantitative structure-property relationship of tetrathiafulvalene analogs. Flora’s research at UM wsa aimed at understanding bone and skin collagen changes occurring in sheep and humans with osteoporosis disease.  She is currently working at LifeCell Corporation.
