SHI HANG Ph.D.

Assistant Professor

Main Research Fields

Hang Shi’s laboratory combines structural and functional approaches to investigate, from the molecular perspective, the production, metabolism, function and related regulatory mechanisms of intracellular RNA, and develop biological and medical tools. In addition, we also apply multiple structural biology methods to understand the formation and function of cellular organelles (for instance, cillia).
