Research Topic:

Our research interests lie in fields of cytoskeleton- and intracellular trafficking- centric view of the world at both cellular and behavior level to understand (1) how pathogens target to the cytoskeletal system and membrane trafficking of host to regulate their invasion, duplication, and mobility between host cells; (2) the molecular mechanisms of cytoskeletal interaction and the regulation to cell migration, polarity and mechanosensing; (3) related bioimaging methods.
