Lysosome and autophagy in development and diseases
The main research interest of my laboratory is to understand the regulation and the role of the lysosomal-autophagy pathway in both physiological and disease processes. In particular, we are exploring the hypothesis that the developmental regulation of this pathway is an important contributor to organismal development and growth.
