[1] Angiogenesis is implicated in the development of various diseases including cancer. Currently, we are working on the role of various signaling pathways, especially focusing on S6K-mediated pathway, in determining angiogenic behavior within tumor microenvironment for fully understanding angiogenic process during tumor development.
[2] 3-dimensional organoid culture system is emerging as a potent in vitro model for studying various disorders and diseases including cancer. Currently, we are working on development of 3D organoid culture models and their application for studying molecular mechanisms underlying tumor development as well as personalized cancer treatment.
