RESEARCH SUMMARY
Dr. Hu's research focuses on understanding the physiological activities of IKKα in skin tumorigenesis and inflammation and in revealing the mechanisms by which IKKα regulates these functions by using genetic animal models, including IKKα conditional knockout, IKKα kinase inactive knockin and IKKα transgenic mice, as well as molecular biology approaches.
