Research

We are an experimental Biophysics laboratory specializing at the molecular and cellular level.

To understand the mechanical property of molecular motors as well as cell mechanics, we are also developing new experimental techniques and software at the micro to the nanoscale level. Our goal is to understand the mechanisms of the mechanical process from single molecule to cells.
