Biography
Dr. Pu received a B.S. degree in Bioengineering (2005) from Beijing Institute of Technology. She earned her Ph.D. degree (2011) from Institute of Biophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Following her Ph.D. degree she completed a 5-year postdoctoral training in the NIH and 3-year Research Fellow working in the same laboratory.
Personal Statement
I am a curious researcher, looking for the molecular mechanism of organelle dynamics in cells. Since I was fascinated by cells when I saw them under a microscope in my college study, I have been studying cells everyday, because the answers for how life is going and how diseases happen are hidden behind the tiny living structures. Our group uses the techniques in molecular cell biology and biochemistry to study cell activities at molecular level. Current focus is organelle interplays in lipid metabolism and the related pathologies. Pubmed link:
