Research Focus
Hong Jin has broad training in biochemistry, biophysics, and structural biology, including macromolecule X-ray crystallography, solution NMR spectroscopy, and electron cryo-microscopy. Her lab’s goal is to understand the mechanisms of essential RNA-protein complexes in gene expression. They use structural biology tools in addition to biophysical, biochemical, genetic, and genomic methods to gain insight into translation and regulation. Regulatory dysfunction in translation influences important cellular processes and can lead to diseases and cancer. Visit her research lab’s website for more information.
