Project Leader, CNRS Researcher

Institut Curie

Welcome to my website. I am Feng. I am a project leader in Membrane and Cellular Function group in Institut Curie in Paris.

My research aim
Seek answers to fundamental questions about actin-driven membrane reshaping in membrane trafficking and the formation of cellular protrusions

My research tools
Principles and tools of physics, and bottom-up approaches – in vitro reconstitution systems composed of model membranes and purified proteins

If you are interested in joining my research team as a postdoc, undergraduate or graduate student, please feel free to contact me!
