Human fungal pathogens, sexual reproduction and development in fungal pathogenesis
Human fungal pathogens, sexual reproduction and development in fungal pathogenesis
Regeneration and development; understanding cellular/molecular mechanisms that underlie neural regeneration in planarians.
Our research is aimed at identifying the principles of neural circuit assembly, which is key to understanding the treatment of neurological disorders. To achieve this, we develop imaging toolkits including fluorescent probes and advanced microscopes. Website
Epigenetic regulation in the context of development and cancer. We focus on heterochromatin and primarily use zebrafish as a model system.
In vivo optical microscopy for bone and tissue regeneration.
Role of glycosylation in regulating Notch signaling, assisting protein folding, and development.
Genetic analysis of mouse development; cell fate specification in the embryonic
central nervous system; patterning of the body plan’s left-right axis.
Oxygen- and glycosylation-dependent regulation of polyubiquitin ligases in Dictyostelium and Toxoplasma gondii;
Glycobiology of protozoa.
Evolutionary Genomics and Sex Chromosome Evolution.
Developing Translational Glycomaterials for Neural Tissue Repair and Neural Interfacing.
