Research Interest
We use X-ray crystallography and other biochemical techniques to study how protein-protein interactions mediate the specific recognition of cytokines and growth factors by plasma membrane receptors, which is an important step in initiating cellular responses to the change of extracellular environment. Another growing interest in my group is structural and biochemical studies of protein complexes involved in virus-host interaction.
