Bin Wu is an Associate Professor in the Solomon H Snyder Department of Neuroscience at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. His research interests focus on molecular biophysics and biochemistry, with an emphasis on gene expression in neurons. His work explores how gene expression is tightly controlled spatially and temporally within neurons, particularly in relation to the distribution of proteins that respond to stimulation. Wu's lab is dedicated to visualizing and quantifying gene expression by monitoring the birth, transport, translation, and decay of single mRNAs in live neurons. He has developed a method known as Single Molecule Imaging of Nascent Peptides (SINAPS) which allows the visualization of translation of single mRNAs. This research aims to unravel fundamental biological questions and manipulate gene expression to influence translation in neurons.
