Research synopsis

I pursue a range of research interests centering on stem cells, including human embryonic stem cells, human induced pluripotent stem cells, dedifferentiated multipotent stem cells, and cancer stem cells. I am also interested in the development of cancer stem cell specific markers and drugs, the differentiation of mammary gland-like stem cells and clinical application of cell transplantation based on the improvement of the clinical-grade hPSC bank and storage.
