Research Interests: My current research focuses on two main directions: 1) Studying the spatiotemporal dynamics of mRNA export and localization at the single-molecule level using live-cell imaging and MS2 tagging systems. I aim to understand how mRNA behavior is regulated under normal and stress-induced conditions, including how stress granule formation and nuclear pore complex (NPC) function influence mRNA fate.
2) Applying super-resolution microscopy (SRM), such as single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM), to track individual mRNA molecules in real time. Through this approach, I seek to uncover how environmental stress affects the post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression, with broader implications for understanding cellular adaptation and RNA-based regulation in disease contexts.
