Research Interest

My current research focuses on prostate cancer. Previous research on pathogenic fungi was karotyping the genomes several pathogenic fungi, cloning and mapping the eleven genes of W.dermatitdis on its different chromosomes. This part of work was done in Dr. Szaniszlo's laboratory. In Human Genome Laboratory of Fudan University, my project was to establish the molecular diagnoistic method for Penicilliosis marneffi. Immunologic study of Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) in cervical cancer was my early experience in the field immunology research and cancer.
