Research Interest

I've mainly focused on deciphering the molecular mechanism of long-non coding RNA (lncRNA), which remains largely unexplored, particularly within oncology. Specifically, I'm investigating the influence of a novel lncRNA in the development of colon and lung cancer metastasis as well as chemoresistance while concurrently unraveling the underlying molecular processes driving these observed phenotypic changes. Through collaborations with medical professionals, I actively strive to apply my research findings in developing diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets to benefit patients. I have been studying the molecular mechanism of lncRNA in chemoresistance Lung cancer and Colon cancer.
