معرفی
Tong Shu is a Researcher and Postdoctoral Associate at the Institute of System Genetics, NYU School of Medicine. Their research focuses on molecular mechanisms of synaptic vesicle exocytosis and SNARE protein dynamics.
Education:
- PhD in 2019, Yale University, Advisor: James Rothman
Research Interests: Tong Shu’s work explores the biophysical processes governing SNARE complex assembly, membrane fusion, and calcium-regulated exocytosis. Utilizing optical tweezers, their studies revealed how Munc13-1 and Munc18-1 chaperone SNARE proteins to form functional complexes, enabling neurotransmitter release.
