Lu, Lei

Assoc. Prof. Lei Lu is an Associate Professor Assistant Chair (Graduate Education) in the School of Biological Sciences at Nanyang Technological University. His research focuses on the Golgi complex, membrane trafficking, and ciliary targeting mechanisms. His lab develops advanced imaging tools to study the molecular organization and trafficking mechanisms of the Golgi, revealing novel insights into protein sorting and transport. Additionally, he investigates the mechanisms underlying ciliary targeting, including the role of transportin1, Rab8, and targeting sequences. His work has been published in prominent journals such as eLife, Nature Communications, and the Journal of Cell Biology.

Lei Lu is a researcher at Nanyang Technological University with a focus on the Golgi apparatus, endosomes, and cilia. Their work explores the molecular mechanisms governing intracellular trafficking, including the role of SNARE complexes, ARF-like proteins, and Golgins in vesicle transport. Lu's research also investigates the structural organization of the endoplasmic reticulum during mitosis and the formation of the nuclear envelope. Additionally, they examine the regulation of Golgi structure and function, as well as the trafficking of proteins to ciliary membranes. Their studies contribute to understanding the dynamics of membrane trafficking and its implications in cellular processes.
