RESEARCH INTERESTS:

Eukaryotic Gene Expression Regulation: Cancer biology

Cancer is a fascinating subject for studying gene expression and regulation in the eukaryotic system. The complexity of cancer, and many other diseases, requires a systematic and genome-wide approach, so to improve the reliability of results and to help identify the missing links in the cascade of gene expression regulation. We have setup a biotechnology-based sequencing platform at Genomics Research Center, which works closely with the TechComm sequencing facility at the National Taiwan University campus. These sequencing platforms are linked to multiple bioinformatics pipelines for various types of sequence data analysis. Besides cancer biology, we are also working on biotechnology development, anti-cancer mechanism of A. cinnamomea, developmental reprogramming, and a number of collaborative projects, including studies of cancer stem cell (CSC) transcriptomes, early onset breast cancer (EOBC), T-cell tolerance, and micro-RNAs. 

Research collaborations are not limited within Academia Sinica. The idea is to facilitate Genomics researches by taking practical actions and by realistic sharing of sequencing experiences and software applications. Through broad connections and collaborations, we would like to help facilitate the study of Genomics and basic sciences and to strengthen the education system. 

癌症是一種複雜的疾病, 也是研究真核生物基因調控的最佳材料之一. 本實驗室使用高效率的生物資訊技術來處理遺傳序列. 將基因表達的層次, 與染色質的狀態和基因轉錄因子在染色質上的結合位置關連起來,以提高實驗結果的可靠性. 並藉由病變細胞與正常細胞之間, 或不同的病變細胞之間, 的比較, 廣泛搜索乳癌, 肝癌, 與鼻咽癌等細胞內基因調控流程中的失控之處, 以找尋分子標靶, 用以治療或控制癌症. 同時, 我們將繼續發展生物科技, 以促進基因體學與基礎科學在台灣的發展.
