معرفی
Maohan Su is a Research Scientist in Cell Biology at Yale School of Medicine, affiliated with the Rothman Lab. His work focuses on cellular architecture, membrane dynamics, and cytoskeletal interactions. Key research areas include Golgi apparatus structure, actin wave formation, and super-resolution imaging innovations. Collaborations involve interdisciplinary projects such as developing FLASH-PAINT microscopy techniques and studying host defenses against SARS-CoV-2. Su’s contributions bridge cell biology and biophysics, with emphasis on protein function and cellular organization.
Research interests prominently feature Golgi protein localization (VPS13B/FAM177A1 interactions), actin-cortical wave mechanics, and imaging technologies enabling multiplexed super-resolution analysis. His studies reveal how membrane curvature influences protein behavior and how cytoskeletal systems coordinate during cellular processes.
Notable publications highlight discoveries in viral defense mechanisms (PLSCR1 antiviral role) and advanced imaging methodologies. Ongoing work addresses dynamic crosstalk between actin and microtubule networks, mediated by proteins like FHDC1.
Labs/Teams: Active member of the Rothman Lab, collaborating with groups led by Bewersdorf, Toomre, and Wu on structural cell biology projects. Involved in developing novel imaging platforms for multiplexed molecular visualization in live cells.
