In my PhD study and postdoctoral research, I focused on the development of chemical biological strategies to decipher the biological functions of histone post-translational modifications (PTMs) and their regulatory mechanisms. Now I am poised to combine state-of-the-art chemistry, biochemistry, biophysics, and cell biology approaches to solve the fundamental questions in immune response. Our overall mission is to elucidate the fundamental mechanisms responsible for carcinogenesis and to translate basic biomedical discovery into effective therapies for immune diseases. For anyone who wants to join my group, feel free to contact me baoxc@hku.hk.
During my PhD and postdoctoral training, I am fascinated by the diverse role of nutrients in health and disease of human, especially the complex metabolic rewiring in cancer. By utilising a multi-omics approach, my research focuses on identifying the nutrient preference of different subtypes of cancer, the key regulators for metabolic rewiring and the contribution of nutrients in cancer properties, such as cancer stemness and drug resistance. Our goal is to exploit the metabolic “weakness” of cancer to develop new treatment options and increase the efficiency of clinical drugs.
