Biomedical Seminar Series

Dr. Xiao-Fan Wang of Duke University School of Medicine presents “New Insights into the Mechanism Underlying Cellular Senescence.”

The current research in the Wang laboratory mainly focuses on the elucidation of molecular nature and signaling mechanisms associated with the initiation of cellular senescence. In addition, we continue to study changes in tumor microenvironment that promotes tumor progression and metastasis, particularly how tumor cells interact with the immune system. Ultimately, we hope that our studies in these areas lead to the development of novel therapeutics for the treatment of various types of human cancer.
