During my Ph.D., I was involved in Campus Cats’ efforts in managing and finding homes for stray cats around the campus via TNR (trap-neuter-release) and regular feeding. I also luckily found two wonderful furriends (Chairman Meow and Blueberry) from my old backyard and an awesome organization in Indianapolis (IndyHumane), respectively. I also enjoy hiking, traveling, diving, and exploring new things. Staying curious and adventurous keeps me amazed by the wonder of life and the world everyday (it is also a fundamental drive for me as a scientist). https://www.peiciaotang.com/evolution-in-acropora daily 0.75 2020-04-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e91e1681e201f5971a8600f/1586969651558-8QELEJ8FER6FMZOR30QI/IMG_4473.jpg Molecular evolution and coral ecology https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e91e1681e201f5971a8600f/1586969796899-RIKMOGSBJEECV54BXCIN/PA094746%2Bmod.jpg Molecular evolution and coral ecology https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e91e1681e201f5971a8600f/1586969950991-73FWXZU354RS80XD8PAU/OIRS_1.jpg Molecular evolution and coral ecology https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e91e1681e201f5971a8600f/1586969989813-VPVY9XX7EAW59NP1I2C3/PA104772+mod.jpg Molecular evolution and coral ecology https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e91e1681e201f5971a8600f/1586970007274-TQZQZIBZXVXTHDWEX1YN/PA104774+mod.jpg Molecular evolution and coral ecology https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e91e1681e201f5971a8600f/1586970703195-HQDBE9QEMDC8K4AX1Q7K/thaland_bleaching+mod.jpg Molecular evolution and coral ecology https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e91e1681e201f5971a8600f/1586966747238-84L82H0EQET3H94SJICN/OIRS_3+mod.jpg Molecular evolution and coral ecology https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e91e1681e201f5971a8600f/1586968800538-P3W03P91QGI6AC3Q904S/PA094699+mod.jpg Molecular evolution and coral ecology https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e91e1681e201f5971a8600f/1586967360738-PSACDPPZENO7S84MGX1F/IMG_4480+mod.jpg Molecular evolution and coral ecology https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e91e1681e201f5971a8600f/1587000400250-M497HBRJ9XSTDIDF4Q8P/sum-01.png Molecular evolution and coral ecology - Specifically, I developed microsatellite markers for studying the population structure of the blue mackerel from the Northwestern Pacific. Blue mackerel is not only highly prized by seafood connoisseurs, but it is also used, strangely enough, to make animal feed. From my Master’s project, morphometric characteristics and mitochondrial DNA markers were both employed to create a key for identifying mackerels around Taiwan. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e91e1681e201f5971a8600f/1586997312839-37ZF2OSCP8CUZ9LQS5ZN/2005+Taitung.JPG Molecular evolution and coral ecology https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e91e1681e201f5971a8600f/1586997448041-WCJKJKJHW81ZNWYLURHW/post2007_1.jpg Molecular evolution and coral ecology https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e91e1681e201f5971a8600f/1586997335149-4SD27P0MOTY1AU8Q8U4D/open.jpg Molecular evolution and coral ecology https://www.peiciaotang.com/resources daily 0.75 2020-07-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e91e1681e201f5971a8600f/1594924493136-PH4K516YCXFJ4EF0TSGD/5%2Bpluripotency.jpg Resources https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e91e1681e201f5971a8600f/1590107996435-BE946E6KGUIWHYFJQZ8H/pax8-tdTomato.png Resources The Pax8-tdTomato reporter cell line is from Dr. Andy Groves’ Lab. https://www.peiciaotang.com/home daily 1.0 2026-03-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e91e1681e201f5971a8600f/1597073783542-70ZA2F4WYVPPIJI6US09/5402.jpg Home Photo credit: Jing Nie https://www.peiciaotang.com/schwann-cell daily 0.75 2026-03-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e91e1681e201f5971a8600f/b3047003-a748-4f76-804b-ec0940d34ad0/Screen+Shot+2026-03-06+at+8.12.23+AM.png https://www.peiciaotang.com/ieo-1 daily 0.75 2026-03-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e91e1681e201f5971a8600f/1587735813074-IYQDZTRCEUSXYK8BYES9/E10.5+%5BRecovered%5D-01.png Inner ear organoid (Copy) Illustration of sensory placodes in ~E10.5 mouse embryo https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e91e1681e201f5971a8600f/1587662420444-E7EL2GUANTMZ939395AE/data_1.png Inner ear organoid (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e91e1681e201f5971a8600f/1587663828105-S8YRM83GSZWW5DXTH8XY/hypothsis+copy.png Inner ear organoid (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e91e1681e201f5971a8600f/1587664484302-J55UR91H0WEY1XTSXR50/Graphic+abstract+v2-01.png Inner ear organoid (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e91e1681e201f5971a8600f/1587667932701-4FXEG1MF69JQNPDLKG4B/anemone-01.png Inner ear organoid (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e91e1681e201f5971a8600f/1587681410784-7HKFLM5E8Z6565DLTJA3/mouse-01.png Inner ear organoid (Copy)
