My lab is interested in tumor biology. Our work has focused on extracellular matrix degrading proteases and their roles in facilitating tumor growth and metatstasis.

My laboratory studies lung macrophages and their roles during the infection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. We aim to understand the ontogeny of lung macrophages and how different metabolic pathways regulate their functions in tuberculosis. In addition, we are particularly interested in the crosstalk between cellular metabolism and epigenetic regulation in lung macrophages.
Ping-Ching Hsu, Ph.D.
Dr. Hsu’s laboratory uses population-based omics approach to address the factors that are contributing to the cancer health disparities. Her work aims to understand early prediction markers for chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity in breast cancer patients.
