Research Interest:
Two Major Projects are Currently Underway in the Laboratory.
A Cell Reprogramming Technique Has Been Used to Convert Heterogeneous Malignant
Breast Cancer Cells into Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells Using Sox2/Oct4/Nanog
Proteins. Dr. Wu’s Laboratory is Clarifying these Induced Pluripotent Stem
Cells for their Differentiation Potential and Oncogenic Properties, and Try to
Develop a Novel Cell Converting Therapy for Malignant Breast Cancer Treatment.
Metastasis, the Spread of Cancer Cells from the Primary Tumor To Distant
Organs, Is The Most Dreadful Development Of Breast Cancer, As Well As Other
Neoplastic Diseases. Although Metastasis Contributes To Over 90% Of Human
Cancer Mortality, The Molecular Mechanism Of This Process Remains Largely
Unknown. Dr. Wu’s Laboratory Is In The Process Of Identifying Molecular
Signatures Involved In Breast Cancer Metastasis Using Integrative Genetic,
Epigenetic And Proteomic Approach, As Well As Animal Models And Clinical
Specimens.
