Pei-Jung received her B.S. from Tatung University and obtained her research training in Dr. Soo-Chen Cheng's lab in the Institute of Molecular Biology at Academia Sinica in Taiwan. Later, she worked in Dr. Herman Dierick's lab at Baylor College of Medicine and constructed the very first line of transgenic fruit flies for translating ribosome affinity purification. Pei-Jung is also an artist, who makes the scientific illustrations for the lab.

Kyeongmin received her B.E. from Jeonbuk National University and conducted her Ph.D. research in Dr. Bae Hwan Lee’s lab at Yonsei University in South Korea. She studied neuropathic pain and focused on the insular cortex, which is related to the affective-motivational component of pain perception, and received her Ph.D. in 2022. She then moved to Galveston, Texas and joined our lab in 2023.
