SELF-INTRODUCTION：
Dr. Su, Ming-Yuan is currently an Associate Professor and doctoral supervisor in the School of Medicine. She received her phD degree from National Taiwan University in 2015 and did her postdoc training in UC Berkeley and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory during 2016-2021. Dr. Su joined the School of Medicine, SUSTech as an assistant professor since May 2021. She has published papers on Nature, Molecular Cell, Nature Communication and Autophagy etc. Su lab aims to integrate the structural biology, biochemistry, molecular biology and mass spectrometry to understand the regulation mechanism of lysosomal signalling, and how the position and biogenesis of lysosomes are controlled as well as the relevant diseases.
