What we study
The Jin Lab studies how cells keep balance by moving proteins and membranes through processes called endocytosis and autophagy. They use live‑cell imaging, genome editing in human induced pluripotent stem cells, and quantitative analysis to see how these mechanisms work in different cell types, like neurons.
