Frank H. C. Cheng studies the molecular mechanisms of cancer, with a focus on how small RNA molecules called microRNAs are regulated and silenced in tumors. Much of the work examines competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) networks and epigenetic control (chemical modifications like DNA methylation that switch genes on or off), particularly in ovarian and gastric cancers. The research connects these gene-regulation mechanisms to cancer stemness, patient prognosis, and anti-cancer immunity.
