Abstract of Research / Brief Description of Your Current Research Interest (max. 200 words)

I specialize in molecular biology and molecular mechanisms of osteogenesis and osteoclastogenesis in response to treatment of natural compounds derived from Chinese Medicine, which provide the basis of drug development for the treatment of osteoporosis, with a focus on studying the mechanisms of gene regulation in disease pathways.
After nearly 4-year postdoc training, I focus on the research involves investigating the role of specific genes in various cellular processes and disease states related to skeletal, using cutting-edge techniques in genomics, proteomics, and bioinformatics.
