Areas of Interest
My scientific interest is primarily focused on the role of endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated protein degradation (ERAD) and ER homeostasis. I am currently investigating the (patho-) physiological significance of ERAD mutations in humans in Dr. Ling Qi’s laboratory. Our overall goal is to pave the foundation for future effort to therapeutically target ERAD complex in the treatment of various ERAD-related diseases.
