My research interest is to investigate the cancer cells orientated cross-talks with the extracellular matrix (ECM) and stroma cells during the cancer development, progression and metastases. The first group of molecules of my interest is bone morphogenetic proteins and their signalling. BMPs play diverse and critical roles in a vicious cycle between cancer cells and the local environment in both primary and secondary tumours, and also contribute to the tumour-associated angiogenesis. Following my PhD study of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP) and their signalling in prostate cancer, I continue to explore the mechanism(s) of bone metastasis from prostate cancer and breast cancer, seek and develop therapeutic approach particularly by targeting BMPs signalling.

The second group of molecules which we focus are anthrax toxin receptor 1 (ANTXR1, also known as tumour endothelial marker 8, TEM-8) and anthrax toxin receptor 2 (ANTXR2, also known as capillary morphogenesis gene 2, CMG2). These two molecules are initially identified as markers or genes for the angiogenesis. Our recent studies have shown that aberrant expression and function of these two molecules in the disease progression of breast cancer and prostate cancer. As these two transmembrane proteins play an important role mediating adhesion and migration of cancer cells upon ECM, and also orchestrating the consequent interactions between cancer cells and micro-environment to enable tumour growth and dissemination.
