Epigenetic control of alternative promoter utilisation
Many human genes are regulated through alternative promoter utilisation, some examples of which can be induced by experiment, and many of which occur in diseases such as cancer. Read more
Conservation and biogeography of Asian bee pollinators
Asia is a center of bee evolution and its crops and native vegetation depend on bee pollination. However, relatively little is known about the life history, biogeography, and conservation status of regional pollinators (Warrit et al. Read more
How to build a motile cilium?
Cilia and flagella are cellular appendages found from protozoa to animals, responsible for their motility and sensory functions. Read more
Decoding Prokaryotic Adaptive Immunity and Pathways to Therapeutic Innovation
Project Description. Prokaryotes, the microscopic architects of our biosphere, harbor intricate immune systems that stand as the guardians of their genetic sanctity against the incessant assault of phages and other mobile genetic elements. Read more
Various projects in theoretical ecology and modelling
I am interested in students with experience in quantitative methods and a passion for ecology and conservation. Quantitative methods include mathematical analysis and computer simulation. Read more
Understanding genetic connectivity and evolution across the Coral Triangle
Using molecular techniques such as RADseq, population genomics seeks to use the unparalleled resolution that several thousand Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) can provide. Read more
Structural characterizatoin of cell signaling at the membrane interface
Signaling transduction at membrane interface plays an essential role in human health and diseases. The Sun lab combines structural biology, cell biology, pharmacology and biochemistry approaches to characterize important cell signaling events in atomic details. Read more
Unraveling nuclear PKA activity in neurons of mouse striatum during behavior
In the brain, neuromodulators adjust subcellular PKA activity to alter neuronal plasticity that underlies memory formation. Read more
Hijacking mechanism of dengue virus on human plasmin to enhance the permeability of mosquito midgut for infection.
Dengue virus (DENV) is mosquito-borne virus that survive by cycling between mosquito vectors, principally Aedes aegypti, and human hosts. Read more
Effects of urbanisation on insect biodiversity
Urbanisation is among the greatest threats to existing biodiversity. Recent studies reveal a worldwide decline of arthropods, threatening the sustainment of essential ecosystem services such as pollination and food webs. Read more
Cryo-EM Structure and Function of Membrane Proteins Involved in Human Diseases
While membrane proteins only make up around 20% of the proteome, they constitute around 60% of drug targets. However, high resolution structural information is severely lacking for them, with only about 2% of the structures deposited in the public protein database (PDB) being annotated as membrane proteins. Read more
Control of human chromosome condensation in situ
Recent breakthroughs in cryo-electron tomogram (cryo-ET) have enabled the analysis of nucleosomes, the basic units of chromosomes, inside human cells. Read more
Characterization of the species and functional diversity of mangrove sediment fungi and other microbes
Mangroves are one of the most carbon-rich ecosystems and are the major coastal blue carbon sinks. Read more
Biomechanics and tissue hydraulics in plant growth and development
Apply to join the MechaPlant Lab, led by Yuchen Long, to explore the coordinated regulations of biomechanics and tissue hydraulics in plant growth and development. Read more
Virus antigenic evolution under immune pressure
About the Project. The persistent evasion of COVID-19 from vaccines and monoclonal antibody therapeutics underscores the critical need to comprehend how endemic and zoonotic viruses evolve to counter antibody-mediated immune responses. Read more
