Research Interests: The Belyy lab studies the fundamental mechanisms of signaling across biological membranes. We are particularly interested in the oligomerization of stress receptors, which we investigate with a combination of optogenetics, single-molecule imaging, quantitative microscopy, and in vitro biochemistry. Although receptor oligomerization is a common theme in cell signaling, it is a surprisingly tricky phenomenon to study. We seek to change that by applying cutting-edge techniques to the problem and, when needed, developing new ones.
