		Research areas Wan-Ting is a Research Assistant in the Whisstock laboratory in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. In 2007, she was part of the team that successfully solved the structure of a MACPF protein called Plu-MACPF which was published in the prestigious journal Science. Ting is now working on another MACPF protein in the hope that more structural information about how these pore-forming proteins work can be discovered. Other Centre projects which Ting is part of are those associated with plasmid conjugation machinery and bacterial virulence factors. Ting completed a Bachelor of Biomedical Sciences in 2002 and an honours year in the Whisstock lab in 2003. After finishing honours she worked for 6 months as a Research Assistant in Whisstock lab before going to Hokkaido, Japan for a year to teach English. She returned to the Whisstock lab in mid 2006.
