Kien Xuan NGO: Interdisciplinary research to address important problems in modern biology


Assistant Professor Kien Xuan Ngo is member of Toshio Ando’s Nanometrology group at the Kanazawa NanoLSI. In this podcast is describes his research on structural biology for clarifying the functions of cytoskeletal proteins—such as actin and microtubules—and so-called ‘ABC transporters’. He is combining his expertise in biochemistry, biophysics, and mathematical simulations to address important problems in modern biology.

 

The Kanazawa University NanoLSI Podcast offers updates of the latest news and research at the WPI-NanoLSI Kanazawa University.

The Nano Life Science Institute (NanoLSI) at Kanazawa University was established in 2017 as part of the World Premier International (WPI) Research Center Initiative of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT).

Researchers at the NanoLSI are combining their cutting-edge expertise in scanning probe microscopy to establish ‘nano-endoscopic techniques’ to directly image, analyze, and manipulate biomolecules for insights into mechanisms governing life phenomena such as diseases.
