The Gao Laboratory @ BCM Neuroscience
Decoding protein interactions in the brain

HOUSTON! 

Pictured here is the Texas Medical Center, where the Gao lab is located. Houston is an amazing city to live in. The international culinary scene here is incredible (I, for one, was jaw-dropped). A short dash away from the beach. The first-time host of the World Table Tennis Championships (WTTC) in the US.  

Lab Celebration! 

Lab celebration! Texas BBQ at The Pit Room. 

First Halloween Pumpkin carving! 

A tradition I inherited from Duke University, and intend to carry on! 

Bubble tea!

Lab outings can not be completed without bubble tea...
