“No man is an island,
entire of itself.”

— John Donne (1572-1631)

So are molecules,
inside the cell!

Mission

Our Mission is to investigate on how molecules within or between cells talk to each other during normal and/or diseased state. Correct cross-talk between signaling and structural molecules is key to maintain proper cell function, while aberrant intracellular cross-talk often leads to diseases. We utilized high-throughput and high-resolution research platform to explore the intracellular phenomena under both physiological and pathological conditions. Further more, we are able to acquire both temporal and spatial information with our specialty in fluorescent live-cell imaging and computational quantitation & modeling. With the advancement to visualize the actual functional cross-talk between cells, the FCT Lab aims to translate the research findings from bench to bedside to fulfill the unmet medical needs.
