Dr. Yihua Huang has long been engaged in the study of the structure and function of β-barrel membrane proteins, with over 30 papers published as corresponding author in top-tier international journals such as Nature, NSMB, and PNAS.

The atomic-level structure of the CsgG 9-mer resolved by Dr. Yihua Huang's research team in 2014 laid the foundation for the world's first commercial biological nanopore sequencer.
