Che-Chia Hsu
Assistant Professor of PathologyOverview
My research has focused on mitochondrial functions in cancer metabolism and understand the role of mitochondrial dynamics in cellular function and human diseases including cancers. Additionally, I also continuously dissect cancer metabolism and identifying potential metabolic vulnerabilities of cancer initiation, progression and metastasis using several in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo genetical approaches such as CRISPR/Cas9 knockout, mouse/ human organoid cultures and genetically engineered mouse models, thereby characterizing molecular mechanisms regulated by metabolic pathways and developing potential metabolic interventions for targeting cancers.
