Research summary
AI-generated

Chengyao Chiang's research focuses on the molecular biology of cancer, examining how proteins are chemically modified (such as through methylation) and how small molecules or drugs can target cancer cells to stop their growth or trigger their death. Work spans topics like epigenetic regulation (chemical modifications that control gene activity without changing DNA sequence), natural compounds as potential cancer drugs, and specific cancer types including lung, breast, cervical, and kidney cancers. This research combines molecular and cellular biology techniques with drug discovery approaches aimed at understanding cancer mechanisms and identifying new therapeutic targets.
