Research interests are focused on on two aspects: one is to identify key proteins and regulatory mechanisms involved in the docking, priming and fusion of different secretary vesicles, particularly large dense-core vesicles (DCVs) and GLUT4 storage vesicles (GSVs). 
The other is to develop novel super-resolution imaging tools, in combination with spectroscopic, biophysical and electron microscopy techniques. In particular, near-molecular resolution optical microscopy, capable of imaging intracellular proteins with nanometer resolution and determining the static structural relationship between two or more proteins of interest at the molecular level are been developing.
