Shi Youling

Shi Youling is an Associate Research Fellow at the Institute of Biochemistry, Academia Sinica, specializing in bacterial physiology and host-pathogen interactions. Her research investigates bacterial growth, division mechanisms, and surface molecule modifications in pathogens like Listeria monocytogenes. She employs bacterial genetics, proteomics, and biochemistry to study metabolic regulation of cell division and peptidoglycan synthesis complexes.

Her publications emphasize bacterial divisome structure, Min protein dynamics, and innovative imaging techniques for cell wall studies. Recent work (2023) reveals structural insights into bacterial division machinery, while earlier studies (2010-2019) focus on self-organizing protein systems governing membrane transport and spatial regulation in E. coli.
