Welcome to our lab home page

Our bodies have a variety of systems to eliminate foreign cells, organisms, and agents such as cancer cells, viruses, and bacteria. If so, how do cancer cells escape from cancer surveillance mechanisms, adapt to the microenvironment, and ensure their survival for continuous proliferation? My lab has been focused on the mechanistic understandings of how cancer cells acquire and maintain their unique biological properties with special emphasis on epigenetics. We aim to identify the regulatory mechanisms involved in multistep tumorigenesis, which will potentiate the development of novel targets for treatment, diagnosis and prevention of cancers.
