Scientific Focus
Research Interests
My research focus is on tumor angiogenesis. We are working on the contributions of progenitor cells in the formation of tumor vessels. We are particularly interested in a population of cells that are derived from putative "hemangioblast", and their role in vasculogenesis. We sumrise that these cells have a close association with cancer stem cells, and are essential in promoting tumor expansion.
