Electronic and molecular approaches for neural recording: deciphering the brain in space and time Resolving neuronal activity in space and time is a long-sought capability in neuroscience, which is, however, still hard to achieve using existing technologies. In this talk, I will share with the audience our strategies toward this goal via innovations at the device … Read More
Single-molecule biophysical approaches to studying the mechanisms of motor proteins Ribosomes are molecular machines made of protein and RNA that translate mRNA into proteins. The biogenesis of new ribosomes is … Read More

Modulation of amyloid assembly by chaperone-like proteins Soluble proteins have an inherent propensity to undergo altered protein folding, forming cross-B sheet-rich structures called amyloids. Amyloid fibrils have gained significant attention due to their involvement in neurodegenerative disorders. Parkinson's disease (PD) is one of the most common movement disorders and the fastest-growing age-related neurological disorder. It … Read More
Discovery and characterization of a novel family of PIEZO channel auxiliary subunits PIEZO channels are critical cellular sensors of mechanical forces. Native PIEZO1 channels can display nonuniform subcellular localization and exhibit … Read More
Symmetry breaking and self-organization of a body axis from mouse embryonic stem cells Abstract: During development, the embryo must break symmetry to form body axes and patterned tissue structures. Recent … Read More
