Research in Dr. Yanxin Liu’s lab focuses on the molecular and structural understanding of protein complexes that are related to human diseases. We employ an integrative approach that combines biophysics, biochemistry, structural biology, and computational modeling. In particular, we are specialized in emerging technologies of high-resolution single-particle cryo-electron microscopy, cryo-electron tomography, and large-scale atomistic molecular dynamics simulation. The current research areas include:

1. Chaperone assisted protein folding.
2. Protein translocations into membrane-bound organelles.
3. Cellular stress response.
