Louis Colson
Ph.D. Candidate
My name is Louis Colson. I am currently a 4th year student in the school of engineering. My work is to implement single-molecule fluorescence microscopy to investigate how the proteasome machine works in selecting and degrading protein targets. Happy to discuss my project.

Mengying Zhou
Postdoctoral Fellow
My doctoral studies were accomplished at Tsinghua University, Beijing in 2016. During my Ph.D., I studied the assembly of mammalian Apaf-1 apoptosome and the activation of cell-killing caspases involved in the onset of intrinsic apoptosis using single-particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), as well as biochemical and genetic methods. I joined the Lu lab as a postdoctoral fellow in 2017. I’m interested in combining single-molecule kinetics, structural studies and biochemical analyses to obtain a complete description possible of the protein complexes.
