Dr. Meng-Lun Hsieh and Dr. Andrew Dean Shubin were married March 7 at the Warwick Melrose Hotel in Dallas. The Rev. Beth Dana, a Unitarian Universalist minister, officiated.

The bride, 33, who goes by Meng, is a fourth-year medical school student at Michigan State University, from which she also received a doctorate in biochemistry. She graduated from Williams College.

She is a daughter of Huey-Jen Liaw and Jyh-Cheng Hsieh of San Diego. The brides father is a research scientist at Sheatech, a biotech company in San Diego. Her mother, a stay-at-home parent, was a history teacher at Taibei High School, a private school in Taipei.

The groom, also 33, is a second-year general surgery resident at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. He graduated magna cum laude from the University of Washington, and received a doctorate in biomedical engineering from the University of Rochester, from which he also received a medical degree.

He is a son of Carol E. Shubin and Andy N. Shubin of Vancouver, Wash. His father retired as a photography teacher at Shahala Middle School in Vancouver. The grooms mother retired as a special-education teacher at Burton Elementary School in Vancouver.

The couple met a decade ago at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md., as post-baccalaureate research fellows, she focusing on a virus that infects bacteria, and he on skin stem cells. In April 2016, they met again at a conference for physician scientists in Chicago, and began dating long-distance.
