About Me

Dr. Hsu received his BS and MS from National Taiwan University.  He obtained his PhD from Duke University in Biochemistry, where he discovered and characterized translational regulation and RNA localization in Dr. Christopher Nicchitta’s lab.  Dr. Hsu is doing his postdoctoral training at Yale University in the groups of Drs. Peter Cresswell and Maudry Laurent-Rolle, where he investigates translational regulation in innate immunity and SARS-CoV-2 infection.  In 2017 and 2018, Dr. Hsu received Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Awards (T32).  Dr. Hsu received Cancer Research Institute’s highly regarded Irvington Postdoctoral Fellowship in 2019-2021.  In 2022, Dr. Hsu received a K22 Career Transition Award with a fundable priority score of 13 from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID).  His long-term goal is to dissect the mechanisms of translational regulation in viral infection and during the innate antiviral responses.
