Reasearch Interest
Cancer is the leading causes of death worldwide. My researches have been focusing on the cancer chemoprevention against human colorectal cancer using strategies of gene expression/deletion or functional compounds present in human diet, phytochemicals, and drugs. Currently, my lab is focusing the chemoprevention and molecular carcinogenesis of human cancer. The overall goal of this direction aims to identify new effective chemopreventive agents/human cancer susceptibility genes and elucidate their mechanisms of action using in vitro cell culture and rodent cancer models.
