Structural Cell Biology of Reproduction
We focused on in situ assembly and functions of macromolecular complexes in reproductive biology.
Cryo-Electron Tomography
We draw inspiration from cell biology and AI-assisted modeling to tackle previously inaccessible problems.
Reproductive Biology at the Atomic Level
We combine chemical biology, biochemistry and structural biology approaches to study development biology in situ.
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.
