Our Research:
Our laboratory is dedicated to investigating the underlying molecular and cellular mechanisms of muscle contraction and force regulation in both healthy and diseased states. Our research encompasses a wide range of scales, including single cells, myofibrils, sarcomeres, filaments, and motor proteins. To achieve this, we utilize cutting-edge microscopy and micro/nano fabrication technologies to accurately measure muscle forces ranging from millinewtons to piconewtons. Additionally, the laboratory is also involved in designing and developing unique research instruments and experimental systems, tailored to fit our specific research needs.
