RESEARCH SUMMARY

Dr. Huang's research expertise lies in studying transcriptional and epigenetic regulation in both stem cells and cancer. His previous work as an independent investigator has been studying the role of p53 in embryonic stem cells and embryonic development. His current primary effort is identifying and targeting transcriptional and epigenetic vulnerabilities in osteosarcoma and breast cancer, aiming to develop new therapeutic strategies for these diseases. To achieve this goal, Dr. Huang's team focuses on several transcription factors (p53, CBFB, and RUNXs) and utilizes a variety of approaches, including molecular, biochemical, epigenetic, and genomic techniques, as well as mouse models and human samples.
