Overview

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 vitroex 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.
