Cell Signaling in Viral and Oncogenic Pathogenesis and Its Implications in Disease Diagnosis and Prognosis
Both viral diseases and cancer account for a large proportion of serious health problems.Viral infection and cancer are biologically and medically correlated and in many ways share common cellular pathways that lead to disease development or progression.Better understanding how these signaling events are specifically activated by different pathogenic stimuli and how they activate different downstream transcriptions in response to these stimuli at high specificity and efficiency will provide a new molecular basis for the development of novel disease biomarkers and therapeutic or preventive targets against both classes of diseases.Research in our laboratory has been prompted to investigate the regulation and modes of action of these pathways,with a more intensive focus on the NF-кB signaling,in the settings of severe or oncogenic viral infection as well as cancer development.It is hoped that our research will lead to eventual clinical application of biomarkers derived from these signaling pathways.
