Research Profile

Research in the Huang lab is concentrated on elucidating molecular mechanisms associated with breast and ovarian cancer metastasis. One of the current projects is to investigate how homeobox domain-containing proteins SHOX2 and HOXC8 regulate breast cancer metastasis with the focus on their role in epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Another project is based on our early discovery that the integrity of EPS8/ABI1/SOS1 tri-complex is critical for ovarian cancer metastasis. In this project, we are currently dissecting the players and pathways pertinent to the metastasis-promoting role of EPS8/ABI1/SOS1 tri-complex in ovarian cancer. In addition, the Huang lab is also working on identifying cancer driver genes/pathways in ovarian cancer, with the emphasis on developing targeted therapeutic strategies against ovary malignancies.
