Organelle redox control and protein maturation.

The Liu Lab studies how organelles move, buffer and sense glutathione, with a focus on SLC33A1-mediated oxidized glutathione export from the endoplasmic reticulum.

ER-IP platform

Rapid ER immunopurification turns organelles into measurable samples.

The SLC33A1 paper builds from an ER immunopurification workflow that isolates ER material quickly enough for compartment-focused metabolomics, proteomics and genetic discovery. These lab-provided microscopy images show ER pulldown bead samples used as visual source material for the platform story.

Research program

Discovery systems for compartment-specific metabolism.

Shanshan's program sketches clarify the broader direction: connect ER protein homeostasis to metabolite homeostasis, use genetics to discover transport and regulation, and extend ER-tagging into tissue and disease contexts.

SLC33A1 mechanism

From ER-IP to transporters.

The flagship paper connects a method, a genetic hit, direct transport activity, structural mechanism and cellular stress phenotypes. The rotating video runs beside the sequence as a compact visual anchor.

The SLC33A1 paper is PDF-verified locally. The full publication list should still be reconciled against Scholar, ORCID, PubMed or a CV export.
