Research Interests
Our lab is mainly focus on the functions of proteins related to human diseases such as inflammation and tumor. We take molecular, biochemical, structural and cellular approaches to investigate the biological roles of these proteins in regulation of DNA damage response, genomic integrity, drug resistance, tumor metabolism and environment, to understand the underlying molecular mechanisms and the correlation between protein dysfunction and tumorigenesis.
1.Identification of proteins involved in tumorigenesis and metastasis.
2.DNA damage response--genome integrity--tumor
3.virus-innate immunity-DNA damage response-tumor

Laboratory Introduction
Our lab is mainly focused on the novel proteins that play key regulatory functions in cells. We are interested to study how protein-protein interactions and protein posttranslational modifications (ubiquitination, phosphorylation, SUMOylation, and acetylation) involved in regulating cell proliferation and growth, and try to understand the underlying mechanisms and correlation between protein dysfunction and human diseases.
