Lab Name: Laboratory of Genes and Signal Pathways Related to Tumor Initiation

Lab Info：Much of our effort focuses on understanding the mechanism of cancer initiation and uncovering targets for cancer therapy. The goals of our research are: (1) understanding the role of the oncoprotein MUC1 in tumorigenesis and therapy, particularly in breast cancer, lung cancer and esophagus squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC); (2) exploring the mechanism of how MUC1 is activated and degraded; (3) developing MUC1 as a prognostic and predictive marker to guide the application of tumor therapeutic.
