Biography:
2007 - present: Professor (tenured), Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, USA,
2009 - present: Distinguished Investigator and Professor, Life Sciences Institute, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou
Research Interests:
The research of Feng lab is aimed at elucidating the underlying mechanisms and interplays among protein modifications, signaling pathways and gene transcription as well as understanding their roles in cell proliferation, tissue differentiation and pathogenesis of human diseases. Current research projects focus on the following four areas: (1) TGF-β/BMP signal transduction in cancer; (2) Epithelial-mesenchymal transition; (3) Noncoding RNA and RNA-binding protein in cancer development and metastasis; (4) Mechanism of stem cell renewal and differentiation.
