Professor Wenguo Jiang: my experience and opinion on molecular and cellular mechanisms of cancer invasion and metastasis
Abstract
Professor Wen G. Jiang is from Metastasis & Angiogenesis Research Group Institute of Cardiff University School of Medicine, Cardiff U.K. Professor Jiang now is Professor in Surgery and Tumour Biology, Director for Cardiff University-Peking University Oncology Joint Institute at Cardiff and Academic Director for International Relations, Cardiff University. His team’s research interest focuses on the molecular and cellular mechanisms of cancer invasion and metastasis and the clinical implication thereof. The current research theme includes: tumour induced angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis and intervention, targeting invasion and metastasis inducing molecules, molecular screening and profiling of tumour metastasis related genes, development of new anti-angiogenesis and anti-metastasis agents. Further research interests include molecular and cellular events in tissue repair and wound healing, protein kinases and phosphotases in tissue repair and cancer metastasis.
