معرفی
Min Wu is an Associate Professor in the Department of Cell Biology at Yale University, part of the Yale School of Medicine. She holds affiliations with the Biochemistry, Quantitative Biology, Biophysics and Structural Biology (BQBS) program, the Cell Biology Center, the Cancer Signaling Networks group, the Center for Biomedical Data Science, and the Molecular Cell Biology, Genetics, and Development program. Her research focuses on cellular oscillations, membrane curvature dynamics, and cell size homeostasis. Prior to Yale, she was an Associate Professor at the National University of Singapore and a National Research Foundation Fellow.
Education: BSc in Chemistry from Peking University (2000), DPhil in Chemistry from Cornell University (2006). Postdoctoral training at Yale University under Pietro De Camilli. Her work bridges cell biology, biophysics, and systems biology, with key contributions to reconstituted endocytic systems and cortical wave mechanisms.
Research Interests: Endocytic trafficking mechanisms, actin wave dynamics, phosphoinositide signaling, and the biophysical principles governing cell size and shape. Her lab investigates how oscillations and waves coordinate cellular processes, with implications for cancer signaling and developmental biology.
Awards: Recognized as a National Research Foundation Fellow. Her research has been highlighted in high-impact journals like Nature Cell Biology, Developmental Cell, and Cell Reports. Collaborations span disciplines, including with the Mechanobiology Institute and the Center for Bioimaging Sciences.
Labs/Teams: Leads the Wu Lab, which employs advanced microscopy and systems approaches to study single-cell dynamics. Engages in interdisciplinary projects, integrating computational modeling with experimental cell biology.
