Li Yu

Li Yu’s research focuses on autophagy. His lab try to understand the autophagy in the broader context of cellular membrane trafficking system and the regulation of autophagy in the framework of metabolism regulation network. Furthermore, they are interested in studying the general principles that determine membrane curvature, shaping and remodeling by using autophagy as a working model. More specific, Li Yu’s lab focuses on two directions at this moment: 1) Migrasome, a new organelle discovered in Li Yu lab. 2) Autophagy.
