Luminescent Proteins

Lei Wang, PhD

Professor

I am interested in building proteins in living cells using new amino acids. By designing novel properties into the new amino acids, my lab probes biological processes in their native settings and engineer unique biomolecules to understand disease mechanisms and to develop new protein drugs.

Xiaokun Shu, PhD

Professor

We apply laws of Physics and Chemistry to design tools for Biology, and use the novel tools to understand fascinating Biology and discover life-saving therapeutics.

Bo Huang, PhD

Professor

I am interested in understanding how macromolecular interactions sets up subcellular compartments that control signaling and nuclear domains that regulate gene function. For this goal, I am developing new fluorescence microscopy techniques and engineering new protein and cellular tools, so that the...
