Our research is interdisciplinary. We develop and utilize proteomics tools to study cell-surface N-glycoproteins that play important roles in stem-cell development. Through various model systems, we want to understand how extra-cellular microenvironment influences stem-cell function and behavior through these proteins and their N-glycosylation pattern
Lab members are formed from a group of passionate and highly motivated graduate and undergraduate students coming from different disciplines including chemistry, biochemistry, molecular and cellular biology, engineering and computer science
The main techniques and facilities we use are liquid chromatography, mass spectrometry, cell-culture facility, and imaging facility in conjunction with basic chemical, biochemical, molecular and cellular techniques. We also develop computational tools to aid high-throughput proteomics analyses
