Housheng (Hansen) He, PhD

Our laboratory applies a variety of genomic and epigenomic experimental and computational approaches to elucidate the functional role of epigenetic regulation in cancer development, progression, drug response and resistance, with a special focus on the interplay between epigenetic regulators and noncoding RNAs under stress conditions such as hypoxia. Our research focuses on three major directions.

  1. Understand epigenetic regulation in cancer development, progression, drug response and resistance
  2. Identify epigenetic biomarkers in tumour and liquid biopsies
  3. Target cancer specific epigenetic regulation for cancer therapy
