Hi, I'm Caitlyn Grypma. Prior to coming to UBC I did my undergraduate Chemistry Honours degree at Trinity Western University in Langley BC. This education gave me a love and excitement for Chemistry, and for learning new things about the world around me. I hope to use what I learn in my graduate studies here at UBC to make a positive difference in the world.

Hi, my name is Yueyang Li. I joined the Chen group in 2018 after completing my B.S. in Chemistry at Nanjing Normal University. I am excited to join the Chen group so that I can learn more about separation chemistry and apply that knowledge to finding more potential biomarkers in biological samples. When I'm not working I like to hike and read.

Hi, my name is Siyu Miao. I graduated from the University of Melbourne in 2019 and joined Chen’s group as a PhD student in Jan. 2020.

Hi, my name is Jenny. I joined the Chen group in September 2020 after obtaining my B.Sc. in Chemical Biology at UBC in May 2020. I’m excited to learn about separation chemistry and using metabolomics methods to analyze biological samples. In my spare time, I like to read and play/listen to music.

Hi, my name is Chau Nguyen. I joined Chen's group in 2021 as a Ph.D. student after obtaining my Master of Science in Forensic Chemistry at Indiana University - Purdue University, Indianapolis. With an interest in analytical chemistry, I'm eager to learn more about the use of CE-MS and other analytical tools in the field of metabolomics through my research.

Hi, my name is Zhenbin Guo. After graduating from Sun Yat-sen University, I joined Professor Chen's research group in 2026 to pursue my doctoral degree. My current research focuses on high-throughput tandem mass spectrometry technologies, covering sample pretreatment, ionization, and data processing. In my spare time, I am deeply passionate about ancient Chinese poetry and parallel prose.
