研究领域

The research in the Jenny J Yang Laboratory focuses on the chemical, biological, material and environmental role of calcium and calcium binding proteins ( We call it calciomics ) using design and engineering approaches. Our goal is to predict and understand the role of metal ions, especially calcium, in biological, chemical and environmental systems, to design novel tools for diagnostics and research, and to create drugs for better health and overall environment. Our multi-disciplinary research projects involve the Structural Biology (NMR and X-ray), Biophysics, Biochemistry, Bioinorganic Chemistry, Cell and Molecular Biology, Biocomputing (Bioinformatics), Physiology, Neuron Sciences and Biomaterial Sciences. Our multidisciplinary approach to these research interests includes site-directed mutagenesis, combinatorial methods, molecular modeling, bacterial and mammalian cell cultures, in cell NMR, various spectroscopic methods (e.g. CD, fluorescence, confocal scanning fluorescence microscopy, NMR, X-ray crystallography, cellular imaging, and MRI imaging) and other techniques such as BiaCore (SPR) and Mass spectrometry. There are several main research concentrations in our group.
