About
Our lab utilizes a combination of cutting-edge techniques, including CRISPR gene editing and screening, Spinning disk confocal microscopy (SDCM), in vivo Bioluminescence Imaging (BLI), clinically relevant mouse models for brain metastases and neurodegenerative diseases (eg. Parkinson's Disease, PD), to investigate the lysosome-mitochondria signaling and the molecular mechanism underlying "Lysozincrosis" (a portmanteau of lysosome, zinc, and necrosis) that caused by dysregulation of lysosome-mitochondria signaling.
Fields of Study
- Cell death, Brain metastases, Neurodegenerative diseases
Areas of Focus
- Ion channels, Lysosome, Mitochondrion
