Chia-Chi completed her integrated Master's degree (BSc. + MSc.) in Marine Biotechnology and Resources at Sun Yat-Sen University, Taiwan, in 2016. After graduation, she worked as a research assistant at Academia Sinica, Taiwan, focusing on the search for new antibiotics. 
In 2018, she moved to Jena in Germany to pursue a PhD under the supervision of Prof. Christine Beemelmanns. Her PhD research concentrated on chemical biology, particularly on the structural elucidation of marine bacterial natural products, and exploring their biosynthetic pathways and ecological roles in cross-kingdom interactions between marine eukaryotes using HRMS, NMR, and chemoproteomics analyses. 

Her current project, a collaboration with the group of Leo Eberl at University of Zurich, focusses on identifying novel mediators of microbial interactions within the human gut environment. 

Outside of the lab/office, she enjoys playing badminton, swimming and relaxing with music/Youtube!
