Research areas
Metabolism and Biomarkers Lab
Our research is dedicated to identifying specific metabolic alterations in cancer to drive biomarker discovery and develop innovative therapeutic strategies. By utilizing LC-MS-based metabolomics, we explore potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets for Hepatocellular Carcinoma, Soft Tissue Sarcoma, and Esophageal Cancer. Our goal is to advance cancer diagnostics and treatment through a deeper understanding of tumor metabolism.
