Min Wu, originally from Nanjing, China, completed his undergraduate degree in Chemistry at Peking University and earned his Ph.D. from Cornell University, focusing on the interface of patterned supported lipid bilayers with immune cells. Following his postdoctoral training under Pietro De Camilli at Yale University, he developed a cell-free reconstitution system for endocytosis before pursuing an independent career at the National University of Singapore, where he was promoted to tenured associate professor in 2018. In 2020, he joined the Department of Cell Biology at Yale University. His research encompasses single-cell oscillations, traveling waves, and cell size homeostasis, with a specific interest in endocytic trafficking and the mechanisms of organelle biogenesis. His notable work has been published in leading journals such as Nature Cell Biology and Developmental Cell, contributing to our understanding of membrane dynamics and cellular behavior through cutting-edge methodologies including single-molecule imaging and cryo-electron tomography.
