Research Interests

 

The overall goal of his laboratory is to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying genomic instability and tumorigenesis. The maintenance of genomic integrity following DNA damage depends on the coordination of DNA repair with cell cycle checkpoint controls. The integrity of the DNA damage response pathway is crucial for the prevention of neoplastic transformation, as suggested by the fact that many proteins involved in these pathways are tumor suppressors including p53, ATM, Chk2, BRCA1 and BRCA2. His group has discovered and studied many new components involved in DNA damage pathways. Recently, Dr. Chen’s group also ventured into other areas of genomic instability, including mitotic regulation, cellular senescence and aging. He demonstrated a mitotic checkpoint protein Chfr is a tumor suppressor, which controls proper mitotic progression via its regulation of several key mitotic kinases. His lab is also studying a protein deacetylase SIRT1 and its role in aging and tumorigenesis.
