Biography
Jun-Yang Liou has his expertise in molecular signaling in regulating cell proliferation and differentiation. His research interests focus on these areas: (1) Gene Regulation and Siganl Transduction in Regulating Cancer Cell Survival, Proliferation, Migration and Invasion. He has identified several regulators involved in Tumor Progression and Metastasis. (2) Molecular Mechanisms and Signal Pathways in Regulating Mouse Embryonic Stem Cell Differentiation and Proliferation. He has identified that inhibition of ROCK signaling contributes to neural, hematopoietic and cardiac differentiation of mouse embryonic stem and induced pluripotent stem cells.
