Mentor Areas
Research in the Bi laboratory focuses on understanding the mechanisms underlying cell polarization, cytokinesis, and septin assembly and remodeling in both yeast and mammalian cells using an integrative approach that involves genetics (e.g. gene editing), cell biology (e.g. quantitative live-cell imaging, and EM), and biochemistry. Recently, we also began to dissect the mechanisms of hepatocyte cell polarization and apical tube formation using a hepatocyte cell line and a similar experimental strategy.
