Hang Su

Assistant Professor

biography

. Dr. Su has devoted more than ten years in the field of cancer research. She has been studying the molecular mechanisms of cancer development in hepatocellular carcinoma and breast cancer for year. Dr. Su has a broad background in molecular biology and cancer biology, with specific expertise in the areas of stress response and non-coding RNA. Her recent research focuses on translational studies, which use chemo- and radio-protectorsto prevent normal tissue damage during cancer therapy.

 

Area of Interest

1. Deregulation of non-coding RNA and their role in cancer development 2. The role of stress responses during cancer development 3. Use of protectors in chemo- and radio-therapy
