Biography

Upon completion of my doctorate in biochemistry at the National Taiwan University in 1994, I joined the faculty of the Graduate Institute of Biomedical Technology, Taipei Medical University, where I directed research combining basic genomics and breast cancer research with translational research. My major research interests are the molecular mechanisms of environmentally and chemically induced carcinogenesis, drug-induced apoptosis and cell cycle disruption. Recently, my research has focused on the analysis of the mechanisms involving nicotinic receptors in human breast cancer formation. These findings led to the development of powerful antitumor agents, and the cloning of a nicotinic receptor gene linked to breast cancer has led to investigation of this receptor as a potential therapeutic target for smoking-induced breast cancer and other cancers. I was voted chairman of the Translational Cancer Research Center at the Taipei Medical University in 2009. This work will further establish a translational research team in which basic and clinical researchers collaborate to focus on the mechanisms of breast cancer formation.
