She received her B.S. in Pharmacy and M.S. in Pharmaceutical Sciences from University of Medicine and Pharmacy HCMC, and a Ph.D. in Chemistry and Chemical Biology (Pharmacology) from University of California San Francisco (UCSF). Prior to joining California Northstate University, Dr. Ho continued her post-doctoral research at UCSF in regulation of mesenchymal stem cell fate, adipogenesis, and metabolism homeostasis of mitochondrial Sirtuin-3. She has been also working on molecular mechanism of mitochondrial disease (MELAS). Dr. Ho’s research focuses on mitochondrial Sirtuins and signalling pathway in metabolic abnormalities, especially type II diabetes. She is exploring Anti-diabetogenic Role of a Sirtuin-3-Adipokines (Adiponectin) Axis in Adipocytes.
