Research Focus

Our group mainly focuses on key regulatory factors in development process of malignant tumors. Although multiple important factors were reported to participate in tumors development, highly heterogeneous and complex nature largely contribute to distinct outcomes of patients. Our study is aimed at finding novel more precise biomarkers to evaluate the prognostic features to guide clinical management, as well as discovering the key proteins’ role and related molecular mechanis
