    Research Overview

    Our laboratory is interested in illustrating the molecular mechanisms of key biological events, particularly epigenetic regulation and metabolic homeostasis, using structural biology as major tools. We use X-ray crystallography and cryogenic electron microscopy to determine the atomic level of macromolecular structures to understand its mechanisms.
