研究焦點


  • My overall research interest is to understand how cells communicate with each other and with their environments. These communications include both outside-in and inside-out signals and are essential for numerous biological events. In a multicellular organism, cell-cell interactions and cell-matrix interactions play critical roles in cellular communication. Focal adhesions are integrin-mediated junctions that attach various cell types to their underlying substratum. They are signal transduction organelles mediating diverse biological processes, including cell proliferation, attachment, migration, death, polarization, homeostasis, and differentiation.  As such, focal adhesion dysfunction is known to have profound repercussions in embryogenesis, tissue development and repair, as well as in many pathological conditions, including various forms of cancer and kidney diseases. My contributions to understanding the focal adhesion tensin family, the DLC1 family, and their associated networks span over 30 years, during which I have participated in nearly all the major breakthroughs in the field. This includes the identification of all four genes of the tensin family, in vitro characterization of the molecules, functional analyses of knockout/knockin animal models, their various roles in cancer or other diseases, and the application of nanotechnology for research.

 

  • In addition to cancer and renal diseases, my recent research program also includes phase separation of focal adhesion proteins. Although previous reports suggest that phase separation of focal adhesion proteins may serve as precursors for focal adhesion assembly, our live cell studies indicate that phase separation of TNS1 is involved in focal adhesion disassembly, and the presence of TNS1 condensates is regulated by mitosis. These observations open many new research directions in the field of phase separation in conjunction with focal adhesions, and our model offers an excellent system for these studies.

 

  • In my new role at IMGM, we will apply genomic, genetic, and molecular approaches to understand the causes, develop strategies, and ultimately reduce the number of patients or the disease burden in those suffering from common diseases, as well as other understudied diseases in Taiwan. This will involve large teamwork and, more critically, collaboration with patients and experts in relevant fields.
