Mo obtained his Ph.D. under Dr. Bill Crosby in Canada, where he studied E3 ubiquitin ligases, which sparked his passion for creating new research tools to address fundamental biological questions.  He then completed his postdoc in Boston with Dr. Steve Elledge, where he built genome-scale platforms to decipher T cell specificity.

 

Fueled by an “unhealthy” enthusiasm for forward genetic screens, Mo’s research spans various topics at the intersection of immunology and technology development.

 

When he isn’t pretending his inbox is empty or deadlines are imaginary, he can typically be found poring over vintage maps or spending more time than he’d openly admit watching British panel shows.
