Dr. Yan Liao is a Chancellor’s Research Fellow, Masters & PhD supervisor, at University of Technology Sydney (UTS) in Australia. She is an independent PI and leads a research group on Archaeal Cell Biology and Biotechnology at the Australian Institute for Microbiology and Infection (AIMI) at UTS.
My research leverages molecular genetics alongside advanced fluorescence and electron microscopy techniques to shed light on the previously obscure processes of archaeal cell division and morphogenesis. In this talk, I will present recent advancements in understanding the function and regulation of archaeal cell division proteins at the heart of these processes.
