Research Areas

Cell division, adhesion and migration are tightly regulated during embryonic development. Dysregulation of these processes often lead to developmental diseases or malignant transformation. Our lab uses the cutting-edge microscopy, multi-omics and gene-editing approaches to decipher the underlying mechanisms of mitosis, cell adhesion and their interplay. We aim to understand the biological relevance of these mechanisms in the three-dimensional environment and tumor progression.

Highlights

1. Deciphering the molecular mechanism underlying focal adhesion disassembly at mitotic entry

2. The role of human phosphatase CDC14A in cell migration and adhesion
