Research Interest

Chemosensitivity diagnostics using in vitro assays
• Prognostic and predictive biomarker development for cancer clinical outcomes
• General laboratory and pre-clinical drug discovery research. Broad experience and strong interest in assaydevelopment
and application of cutting-edge assay technologies (e.g. HCS, imaging, RNAi, `omics).
• Clinical Biomarker development. Research on genetic biomarker and gene-signature predictive of drug
response and patient subpopulation identification through integrated data analysis.
• Discovery oncology. Strong interest in understanding targets involved in cell proliferation, angiogenesis,
tumor microenvironment, apoptosis, stem cells and other cancer-related mechanisms.
• Bioinformatics. Exploratory analysis using gene expression data, DNA data and protein data to support
early stage studies, such as target identification/validation and cancer type selection.
• Translational research. Connecting the dots between pre-clinical and clinical developments (especially focus
on biomarkers and PK/PD).
• Member of biomarker qualification statistical expert team (BQSET) across pharmaceutical industry. Key
member of the C-path PSTC muscle working group.
