Welcome to the Pan Lab!

Our research interest is focused on intracellular calcium signaling and its pathophysiological implications in human diseases. Ion Ca²⁺, the mighty signaler, regulates a wide range of downstream cellular processes, including gene transcription, cell proliferation, migration and death. Dysregulation in Ca²⁺ signaling has been linked to muscle, heart diseases, cancer and more.  We study the fine-tuned Ca²⁺ signaling network in various diseases with a multidisciplinary approach, including live cell imaging, ultrastructural analysis, molecular gene modulation, intracellular Ca²⁺ measurement and transgenic animal models.
