主要研究领域(Research Interests):
主要利用膜生物学、分子生物学、生物化学、细胞生物学和发育生物学等多学科技术手段研究TGF-β和Wnt信号的调控以及它们在胚胎发育、干细胞自我更新和分化、肿瘤形成和组织纤维化中的作用。
His research interests concern how TGF-beta and Wnt signaling are regulated and aims to understand their roles in embryogenesis, stem cell self-renewal and differentiation, tissue fibrosis and tumorigenesis.
