Molecular condensation in plant immunity
My lab focuses on the spatiotemporal regulation of forming membrane-bound membrane-less organelles. Our primary goal is to understand how different assembly patterns and biophysical properties of biomolecular condensates from protein and lipids could precisely respond to signal transductions and deliver diverse biochemical outputs in space and time. Our primarily focused research areas are plant immunity and fungal polarity.
