Kang Yong Loh

Kang Yong Loh obtained his B.S. degree in Chemistry from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2017 under the supervision of Prof. Yi Lu, developing a near-IR tool to image metal ions in living systems. He then spent a gap year in the lab of Prof. Xiaogang Liu at the National University of Singapore, investigating the roles of lanthanides in photothermal and photoacoustics mechanisms. He is currently a PhD graduate student at Stanford University, ChEM-H Institute and Department of Chemistry. His research interests include developing novel chemical and protein tools to address questions in neuroscience. Kang Yong is co-advised by Prof. Carolyn R. Bertozzi.
