Faculty Profile
Research Description
Ion channels, membrane transporters and receptors constitute more than 50% of current drug targets. Using cutting-edge single-molecule imaging and other multidisciplinary approaches, my laboratory aims to visualize structural and functional dynamics, as well as spatial and temporal distributions of these important proteins in their native environments. Our goal is to provide molecular insights into their fundamental function and regulatory mechanism, and ultimately, to develop novel therapeutic approaches for the associated diseases. My lab has state-of-art single molecule imaging facility and a multicultural environment to foster your creativity, value your hard work, curiosity, passion, and launch your own career.
