Dr. Peggy Lo received her B.Sc (2004) and M.Phil. (2006) from Hong Kong Baptist University. In 2010, she obtained a Ph.D. in DNA Chemistry from McGill University in Canada. Her Ph.D research focuses on supramolecular chemistry using DNA as a scaffold to build nanotubes and creation of well-defined DNA-mimetic polymers under the supervision of Professor Hanadi F. Sleiman. She then moved to the United States for her postdoctoral research at Harvard University with Professor Hongkun Park from 2010 to 2012. She joined City University of Hong Kong in July 2012. Her current research interests include design and assembly of bio-inspired DNA-based nanostructures, which are used to address problems in life science and nanomaterials.
