Research Area

Screening for drug leading compounds from Marine Microbial and other natural resources. Research interests mainly focus on the antitumor inhibitor of Hsp90; Based on the database of client proteins of Hsp90 to predict a potential client protein, in further to probe the mechanism of small inhibitor in regulating signal pathway and metabolism network.
