Biography
Research Summary/Interests
Under the supervision of Dr. Stephen Hecht, I currently focus on (1) understanding the mechanisms of carcinogenesis caused by tobacco use, (2) developing biomarkers for cancer etiology studies, and (3) promoting chemopreventative agents into clinic.
In addition, I am also interested in cancer chemotherapy. I have received solid trainings in developing small molecule drugs targeting receptor tyrosine kinases (such as Bcr-Abl and DDRs) and Toll-like receptors (TLRs). I look forward to expand my knowledge and make contributions to the related field.
