Co-first authors of our pHaloBE/pHaloFM paper published in Metabolic Engineering — Yu-Hang Zhang, Yuan Yuan (creator of pHaloBE, graduated 2026), and Bai-Tao Chen. Yuan Yuan's contributions to pHaloBE development and Bai-Tao's analysis work were instrumental to this study. 🧬

Yuan Yuan's last day in the lab — officially the last day as a member of the Chen Ling Lab before heading to Nanjing GeneIII Biotech. Thank you for all the wonderful memories, Yuki! 🎉🧪
