The team of Dr. He aims to identify and verify the potential novel drug targets based on the molecular understanding of the process of the chronic non-communicate diseases, especially for cancer.
They are particularly interested in the enzymes and transcriptional factors involving in the diseases initiation and progression. So far, they has led to identification of a series of key regulators including WSB1, DJ-1, YAP and IGF-1R, which might be served as the potential drug targets for controlling cancer malignant progression.
Now, they are further developing small molecule inhibitors to target these enzymes or transcriptional factors and investigate their potentials in treating human diseases, such as cancer.
