化学生物学和药物化学。在化学生物学方面，我们集中于设计并合成新颖的针对蛋白激酶（Protein Kinase）和表观遗传蛋白（Epigenetic Enzyme）的小分子抑制剂，并运用这些功能小分子为工具，发现和解决信号传导通路、神经生物学和癌症中的新问题。在药物化学方面，以化学生物学研究成果为基础，结合传统的药物化学手段（构效关系研究、药代动力学和毒理学研究）进一步优化小分子工具化合物，以期发展针对癌症等相关疾病的“靶向治疗”药物。
Our research is focused on two major areas: chemical biology and medicinal chemistry. At the interface of chemistry and biology, we use organic synthesis to create new chemical tools for studying biological problems in human health and disease. These functional small-molecule tools are applied to control and elucidate cellular signal transduction in cancer, stem cell, and neural diseases. Second, we pursue established medicinal chemistry approaches including structure activity relationship (SAR) study and pharmacokinetics modification to optimize pre-clinical drug candidates. We're working to address the following general questions: a) How can we develop small-molecule modulators with selectivity towards desired targets such as protein kinases and epigenetic enzymes? b) How can we use discovered-small-molecule tools to dissect the molecular signaling pathways? c) How can we develop the 'lead' of targeted-drug from the tool compound?
