Luo Mengcheng is a professor at Wuhan University who mainly studies the genetic mechanisms of human infertility and assisted reproductive technology
Prof. Miao’s research interest lies in molecular epidemiology, with an emphasis on the genetic susceptibility and molecular mechanisms of digestive system cancers. Through integrating population studies in large cohorts with in-depth functional studies in cells and animals, he conducts research in the following areas: 1. Genetic susceptibility to complex disease in populations; 2. Mechanisms of cancer predisposition and biological function of genetic variation;
Deregulated metabolism is an essential feature of malignant transformation. To support their relentless cell division, most cancer cells have to evolve specific metabolic adaptations that promote their survival under conditions that kill normal counterparts; this adaptation process has been termed “metabolic reprogramming”.
Professor Wang Gaohua has been committed to the basic and clinical research of depression for a long time. In the basic research direction, a variety of animal models of depression were established and improved, and molecular biology techniques were used to explore the possible pathogenesis of animal models of depression. In clinical research, the effects of new antipsychotic drugs on insulin level and the adverse reactions of drugs were explored.
Researchers have been synthesizing DNA bearing phosphorothioate (PT) modification for decades. Because this functional group confers nuclease resistance of DNA's phosphate backbone. Prof. Wang pioneered the discovery of the naturally occurring PT modification in the bacterial DNA governed by dnd and ssp genes. She later identified that PT modification is widespread in prokaryotes and exhibits unusual molecule-to-molecule heterogeneity in a population of cells. However, PTs can still couple with DndFGH
