Research summary

Chang-Deng Hu's research focuses on prostate cancer biology, particularly how cancer cells change identity (neuroendocrine differentiation) to resist treatment and spread. A major focus is the enzyme PRMT5, which modifies proteins and appears to regulate cancer progression, chemotherapy resistance, and gene expression in prostate and other cancers (including lung cancer and osteosarcoma). The lab also studies related mechanisms like androgen receptor signaling, cell communication via extracellular vesicles, and radiation-induced changes in tumor cells.

Publication output was moderate and fairly steady from 2017-2022, then spiked sharply in 2023 before dropping back down in 2024-2025, suggesting a possible cluster of related outputs rather than a smooth long-term growth trend.
