Overview
ur research interests are focused on fundamental aspects of cellular events such as signal reception/transduction at the plasma membrane, intracellular vesicle transport, cytoplasm-nucleus communication, and nuclear architecture/genome folding. We employ a variety of techniques including fluorescence and atomic force microscopies, molecular dynamics, and bioinformatics together with conventional biochemical and molecular biological methods.
