Dr. Ling Hao is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry at the University of Maryland-College Park. She received her PhD from the University of Wisconsin-Madison followed by postdoctoral training at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Before joining the University of Maryland, she was an Assistant Professor at George Washington University. Research in the Hao Lab is at the intersection of analytical chemistry, biochemistry, and neurobiology. Her group develops mass spectrometry-based omics methods to identify and quantify molecular abundances, protein interaction, protein turnover, and organelle dynamics in human stem cell-derived neurons. Her group integrates multi-omics and neurobiology tools to characterize the dynamics of neuronal lysosomes and mitochondria, seeking to reveal molecular mechanisms underlying brain diseases. She has been recognized with several national/international awards, including an NSF CAREER Award, a Cottrell Scholar Award from the Research Corporation for Science Advancement, a Ralph E Powe Junior Faculty Enhancement Award from the Oak Ridge Associated Universities, and an Inaugural Rising Star Award from the World Human Proteome Organization. She also serves on the editorial board of the Molecular Omics journal, as well as the Advisory Board of the US-Human Proteome Organization.
