Biography
Yu Cong, associate professor, young group of young people in the group of selected people, Shenzhen overseas high-level talent, won the 2009 Hong Kong Science Society awarded the "young scientist" title. Cell and Microenvironmental Structural Biology Laboratory. Dr. Yu Cong is mainly engaged in biochemistry and structural biology research, combined with cell biology, to study the function and function of the proteins involved in the life process and related to the disease, including cancer-related actin function, cells and micro The function of important proteins in environmental interactions. Published an article by major authors in "Cell", "Molecular Cell" and other magazines. Recently, the laboratory on the cell and microenvironment integrin signaling pathway of a major breakthrough in the signal pathways and cancer is closely related to the important protein kindlin structure and function of the study published in PNAS, and to be special comments.
Research Interest
The study of important molecular mechanisms in the interaction of cells with microenvironment Disease-related molecular motor function research.
