From atomic structures to organismal networks, we decode how life senses and responds<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/h4>

Living systems continuously sense and respond to their environment. Signals such as light, hormones, metabolites, and stress cues guide growth, development, defense, and survival.<\/p>

Our lab studies how these signals are perceived and regulated through biosynthesis and proteolysis. We integrate biochemistry, structural biology, molecular and cellular biology, genetics, proteomics, and interactome mapping to uncover the molecular logic of signal transduction.<\/p>

By connecting atomic-level mechanisms to complex biological networks, we seek to advance fundamental understanding and develop strategies with broad impact on agriculture, environmental sustainability, and human health.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
