Research
My research group explores various cell signaling phenomena and their impact on critical biological and ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ processes at both cellular and organ levels, with a primary focus on neuroscience and cancer. We develop innovative tissue preparation methods and utilize state-of-the-art imaging techniques, including 3D light-sheet microscopy and spatial transcriptomics, alongside advanced analytical tools such as Fourier transform and deep learning. Additionally, we employ modern cell and genetic technologies, including iPS cells, organoids, transgenic animals, single-cell RNA sequencing, and CRISPR-Cas, to study and manipulate a variety of biological and ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ processes. Our primary interest lies in elucidating the mechanisms of intracellular signaling and their roles in development and disease. A key objective of our work is to uncover how cells regulate and interpret the frequency and amplitude of intracellular calcium oscillations to coordinate essential biological functions.
