Research Interest

The goal of our research laboratory at the National Institute of Biological Sciences (NIBS), Beijing is to understand cell death at molecular level.???The research scope is an expansion of our previous 15 years of research focus on apoptosis, a form of cell death executed by intracellular caspases.??These research experiences brought us to realization that apoptosis is only one form of self-disruptive cell death; and many forms of cell death share cellular components and regulators with apoptotic machinery.??One form of cell death that recently brought to our attention is the tumor necrosis factor receptor induced cell death when caspases are inhibited. We discovered that a receptor interactive kinase, Rip3, is a critical downstream mediator for this form of cell death.??We are in the process of studying how Rip3 kills a cell.
