Welcome to the Rugang Zhang Laboratory. We study ovarian cancer biology and the mechanisms that underlie aging in normal mammalian cells.
Scroll Ahead
The Zhang Laboratory studies ovarian cancer biology with the goal of developing novel therapeutic approaches to combat the disease with precision. The ultimate goal of this line of investigation is to leverage the newly gained mechanistic insights for developing new therapeutics in a personalized manner based on one¡¯s unique genetic and/or pathway signatures.
We also investigate the mechanisms that underlie aging in normal mammalian cells and how this process is implicated in tissue aging or evaded by tumor cells during malignant transformation. The overarching goal for identifying such mechanisms is the development of novel strategies to promote healthy aging and combat cancer.
