RESEARCH

Papillomavirus infection and its tumorigenic potential: The infection of papillomavirus induces benign tumors, such as warts and condylomas, and occationally they are converted into cancers. We are investigating the molecular mechanisms of the virus replication and the virus-related tumor progression.
Analysis of Wnt intracellular signaling pathway: Wnt signaling regulates a variety of adult and developmental processes and mutations in several components of the Wnt pathway are oncogenic. I am analyzing this pathway in vitro and in vivo.
