CANCER BIOLOGY
Cancer Biology division strives on the interdisciplinary research that translates the new findings into developing of angiogenesis inhibitors, early detection/therapeutics using cancer stem cells and gene editing, omics technology, radio-sensitizing agents, biosensors and genetic screening including epigenetics of cell cycle regulation and xenograft models for personalized medicine.
