Group Introduction

Research Area:
Structural and Mechanistic Studies of Cell Signaling and Protein Design
Research Interests:

In all life forms, cells must be able to perceive and correctly respond to their environment. In humans, dysregulation of cell signaling pathways can lead to many diseases including cancers. We aim to understand how cells sense their environment and transduce signals in cells under normal and pathologic conditions, using a combination of structural (X-ray crystallographic and cryo-EM) and biochemical studies. In particular, we are interested in the Wnt signaling pathway, which plays critical roles in embryonic development, stem cell homeostasis and tissue regeneration. Our work helps to lay the foundation for developing novel therapeutic approaches for disease treatment.
