Vivian Lin earned her PhD in organic chemistry from the University of California, Berkeley with Professor Chris Chang, developing fluorescent probes for imaging redox active small molecules. Afterward, she traveled to Switzerland for a postdoctoral fellowship in the laboratory of Professor Kris McNeill at ETH Zürich, studying the photochemical reactivity of organic matter in aquatic systems. Lin joined the Chemical Biology team at PNNL as a postdoctoral research associate in 2017 and is now a staff scientist focused on the development and application of chemical biology tools to a variety of biological systems related to human health and the environment.
