Using isotope labeling methods together with multi-pronged approaches in cell biology, molecular biology, metabolomics, and mouse models, my lab aim to understanding how metabolism and protein modifications regulate the adaptation of fast-proliferating cells (stem cells and cancer cells) to microenvironment, and translate the knowledge for early diagnosis and precise monitoring of cancer by combining with metabolic molecular imaging. So far, my representative academic achievements have been published in top journals such as Molecular cell (2014, 2018), EMBO Journal (2017), Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism (2019), Cell Metabolism (2020). Based on the significance of these discoveries, I received NIH Women Scientist Advisors (WSA) Scholar Award (one of the two final recipients in 2017). And Helen Gurley Brown Presidential Initiative Award in 2018.
