RESEARCH INTERESTS:

Molecular and genomic epidemiology

Researches in the Chen lab encompass a broad spectrum of molecular and genomic epidemiology. They include:

  • Long-term follow-up study on the predictability of risk of hepatocellular carcinoma, cervical carcinoma and nasopharyngeal carcinoma for various biomarkers of chronic infection of hepatitis B and C virus, human papillomavirus and Epstein-Barr virus, respectively;
  • Molecular biomarkers of chronic arsenic poisoning: gene-environment interaction;
  • Multiplex family study and association study on susceptibility genes of cancers of hepatocellular carcinoma, cervical carcinoma and nasopharyngeal carcinoma;
  • Genomic epidemiological study on susceptibility genes of female lung adenocarcinoma.

我們的研究工作主要著重於分子及基因體流行病學, 從事:

  • B型及C型肝炎病毒感染標記與肝細胞癌的長期追蹤研究;
  • 人類乳突病毒感染標記與子宮頸癌的長期追蹤研究;
  • Epstein-Barr病毒感染標記與鼻咽癌的長期追蹤研究;
  • 慢性砷中毒的分子流行病學研究:遺傳與環境交互作用的分析;
  • 肝細胞癌、子宮頸癌與鼻咽癌的多發家族研究: 易罹癌基因連鎖分析;
  • 女性肺腺癌的基因體流行病學研究:基因-基因與基因-環境交互作用的分析.
