Laboratory Introduction

David Chan Laboratory emphasizes on research topics including genetic and epigenetic alterations in tumor development, tumor microenvironment impact on chemoresistance and metastatic progression, and precision cancer medicine. We are engaged in pioneering research projects that delve into innovative methodologies in drug delivery utilizing nanotechnology, comprehensive genomic analysis, and organoid-based drug screening systems for targeted therapies in human cancers. Our investigations extend to discovering natural activators of AMPK with potential antitumor properties and their application in treating metabolic-associated fatty liver disease. Additionally, we are examining the interactions between oncology and immunology within the tumor microenvironment, etc.
