I am honored and humbled to receive the E. B. Wilson Medal and happy to share some reflections on my journey as a cell biologist. It took me a while to realize that my interest in biology would center on how cells are spatially and dynamically organized. From an initial fascination with cellular structures I came to appreciate that cells exhibit dynamism across all scales—from their molecules, to molecular complexes, to organelles. Uncovering the principles of this dynamism, including new ways to observe and quantify it, has been the guiding star of my work.

细胞生物学家的演变

我很荣幸能够获得EB Wilson勋章，并很高兴就我作为细胞生物学家的旅程分享一些感想。我花了一段时间才意识到，我对生物学的兴趣将集中于细胞在空间和动态上的组织方式。从最初对细胞结构的迷恋开始，我逐渐意识到，细胞在各个尺度上都显示出动态性，从其分子，分子复合物到细胞器。发现这种动力的原理，包括观察和量化这种动力的新方法，一直是我工作的指导思想。
