Structural Cell Biology of Development
We focused on in situ assembly and functions of macromolecular complexes in developmental biology.
Developmental Biology at the Near-Atomic Resolution
We combine chemical biology, biochemistry and structural biology approaches to study developmental biology at near-atomic resolution in situ.
Cryo-Electron Tomography
We draw inspiration from cell biology and AI-assisted modeling to tackle previously inaccessible problems.
Biophysics of Cilia
We study the fundamental molecular mechanisms and engineering principles of ciliary motions.
New Directions
We are excited to seize any opportunities if pushing the boundaries of in situ cryoET would make a difference in any biological questions.
