Since Summer 2020, I have been leading a cellular cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) effort at the La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI). I developed my expertise in cryo-correlative light and electron microscopy, focused-ion beam milling (FIB), and cellular cryo-electron tomography at Prof. Elizabeth Villa's laboratory at University of California at San Diego (UCSD) where I revealed the structure of leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) that is linked to Parkinson's disease. Coupling my research expertise in deciphering molecular mechanism involved in membrane trafficking, polarized tissue formationand lipid homeostasis with cellular tomography, I hope to contribute to the development of a robust cellular structural biology program at LJI that can address threats to global human health.
