Rulong Shen's research focuses on cancer biology, particularly the use of epigenetic markers (chemical modifications to DNA that affect gene activity without changing the underlying sequence) as diagnostic and risk-assessment tools for cancers including lung, cervical, and bladder cancer. Work also explores tumor suppressor genes, hypoxia (low-oxygen conditions in tumors), and diagnostic techniques in cytopathology (the study of cells to detect disease). This research combines molecular biology approaches with clinical pathology applications aimed at improving early cancer detection.
