Intro to the speaker:

Chen Hu, the professor and doctoral supervisor at the Department of Physics, Xiamen University, is engaged in the experimental and theoretical research of single-molecule biophysics. He has studied and developed the magnetic tweezers technology, one of the single-molecule manipulation technologies, which has a wider range of applications, especially in vigorous and single protein folding/unfolding. He developed and improved the technology of using magnetic tweezers to study the mechanical response of proteins, and conducted systematical research on the different mechanical stability of various parts of Filamin A and the mechanism that helps the protein sense mechanical signals.
