My research interest is focused on investigating key regulatory genes/elements and pathways involved in cancer development from the perspective of genetic alterations. In particular, I am interested in identification of characteristic genetic change which explains phenotype or sensitivity to drugs in a subset of tumors. Moreover, by the integration of next-generation sequencing data with the use of in vivo/vitro patient-derived xenografts and cancer cells, I aim to reproduce and demonstrate their involvement in cancer development. These developed models not only help the better understanding of the mechanism underlie a subset of tumors but also helps the development of novel approaches toward the personalized treatment for patients.
