Qi-En Wang studies how cancer cells, particularly in lung and ovarian cancer, become resistant to treatment and maintain 'stemness' - a state that allows a subset of tumor cells (cancer stem cells) to resist therapy and drive tumor regrowth. This work spans DNA damage repair pathways, epigenetic and microRNA regulation, and signaling pathways (such as STAT, ERK, and immune checkpoint pathways) that control cancer stem cell behavior and treatment resistance. The research aims to find therapeutic strategies that target these resistant cancer cell populations.

Publication output has remained modest and fairly steady over the last decade, fluctuating between one and four papers per year without a clear long-term upward or downward trend.
