Biography

Shu Chun Chang is Assistant Professor of Ph.D. Program for Translational Medicine, Taipei Medical University. She trained in extracellular biology and glycobiology and began work on cancer research as her PhD study in Imperial College London from 2007 to 2011. Her PhD work aims to investigate the role of Hedgehog Acyltransferase (Hhat) & Heparan Sulphate Proteoglycans (HSPGs) in Human (h) Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) Signaling. These studies have contributions in defining the functional roles of hShh interactions with HSPGs and palmitoylation of hShh in the formation of hShh multimeric complex, which allow targeting this aspect of hShh biology in tumor cell therapeutics. She continued to work in the field of Immunology/inflammation as a Post-Doc at National University of Singapore (NUS, 2011-2015). Her findings clearly identified Sensitive to Apoptosis Gene (SAG)-dependent Ubiquitin Proteasome System (UPS) as a key switch BETWEEN life and death (by apoptosis) and immune response OR immune-overactivation and tumorigenesis. Her current interests are in chronic inflammation-associated tumors (e.g., colon cancer and breast cancer), and this has a profound impact in identifying new molecular therapies for autoimmune diseases, immunodeficiency and cancers.
