Introduction

My main interests in research are to intergrade multiple omics database included transcriptomics and proteomics combined available in silico analysis to predict candidate markers which be a potential driver in tumorigenesis, metastasis and drug resistance, my second focus is to establish two-way models to determine the phenotype and genotype by gene expression in vitro and in vivo, and iii). to identify potential genes, compounds, and drugs for pre-clinical trials in animal models for effective cancer therapy. Ultimately, cellular/animal features and treatment outcomes are obtained through a variety of biomedical imaging systems (IVIS, PET, CT, Ultrasound…etc).

My laboratory is located in: No.155, Sec.2, Linong Street, Taipei, 112 Taiwan,  Experimental Building 4th Floor, Office B308 room National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU). Our laboratory has received grants from several National Science Taiwan Council (NSTC) research programs as well as industry-university programs. The department has a variety of advanced cell/animal imaging equipment and radiation-related instruments. Welcome to join the lab and contribute your ability to cancer research.
