Ying Hu Group

An essential aspect of imaging-driven biological research is quantifying complex spatial colocalization of protein assemblies. In this Preview, we outlined a recent advancement by Kiuchi and colleagues from the Watanabe group at Kyoto University.

Hirushi represented the UIC team at the Schaap Symposium at Hope College last week. Great conversations from a vibrant community! @Hope_Chemistry

Kudos to Dini for officially becoming a PhD candidate!

Our undergrad James will be conducting summer research on lysosomes in immune cells, supported by the Paaren Summer Research Award. Congratulations to James, all recognized chemistry undergrads, and their dedicated mentors!

A few members of our group took a well-deserved escape and soaked up some sunshine and nature just outside Chicago. Fresh air and a perfect pause as the semester winds down.

Just published: our latest on enhancing cell membrane labeling for live super-resolution imaging! Congrats to Hirushi and team! @HirushiGunasek2 @ChemistryatUIC @thisisUIC @NatureComms nature.com/articles/s4146…

Alyssa's super-resolution image of ribosome biogenesis in lymphoma T cells graces the cover of Blood! 🌟 Check out the full collaboration article here: ashpublications.org/blood/article-…

Thanks to the Travel Award, our grad student Neal is attending his first Cell Bio meeting in San Diego and sharing his superresolution imaging work on T cell microvilli.biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #ASCB2024

Our lab's latest work shows vesicular dynamics and IL-2 distribution in T cells after activation. @BiophysJ cell.com/biophysj/fullt…

The final meeting of #Scialog: Advancing BioImaging concludes as teams of early career scientists pitch proposals for new research. Sponsored by RCSA, @cziscience and the Frederick Gardner Cottrell Foundation, with support from Walder Foundation.

We are organizing a Special Interest Subgroup at ASCB from December 2-6 in Boston. The theme is "The Assemblies in and of Membranes: From Superresolution Imaging to Immunoengineering." We are accepting abstracts soon, and please help distribute the announcement!

Our lab reports a new SMLM technique using single-antibody labeling. @ChemistryatUIC @ACS4Authors

We are hiring a superresolution imaging postdoc to study T-cell cytokine biology and a lab tech/manager near downtown Chicago! hu.lab.uic.edu/join-us/

Our very own Hirushi Gunasekara will defend her Ph.D. thesis dissertation next Wednesday, 4/5, at 3 pm in SES 4286! Her thesis is titled: "Superresolution Imaging Through Single-Molecule Labeling."

Ten Team Projects Awarded Funding in Second Year of Scialog: Advancing BioImaging rescorp.org/news/news/2022…

We are hiring two postdocs (molecular biology/immunology and superresolution imaging) for our immune imaging group. hu.lab.uic.edu/join-us/

Excited to see everyone at the ACS Fall Meeting in Chicago! Please check out PI's invited talk at 4:55 pm on Monday, August 22, in the "Standing Out in the Crowd: Dynamics of Biomolecules in Complex Environments" session. #ACSFall2022

Co-organizing a Nanoscale ImmunoBiophysics subgroup meeting at the ASCB’s Cell Bio 2022 scheduled for December 3-7 in Washington, DC. The deadline for submitting an abstract is August 2, 2022, at ascb.org/cellbio2022/ab…. Please pass the information along.

Our group discovered a previously unseen massive membrane network utilized by live dendritic cells for antigen uptake. The findings have profound implications for nanocarrier vaccine design. @NanoLetters @SneeLab @ChemistryatUIC @UICLAS pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Congratulations to the UIC class of 2022, and to our very own Mohamed, Neama, and Saleha! @ChemistryatUIC @UICLAS @UICHonors
