We are interested in a broad range of signaling and epigenetic regulatory pathways\/mechanisms underlying exactly how tumor cells escape from immune surveillance, but not limited to the Toll-like receptor (TLR)-mediated pathways and DNA damage response pathways. Our ultimate goal is to mechanistically derive novel, precise disease markers for early diagnosis and therapeutic intervention.<\/p>\n<p>As the Director of Technology Development in UNC Proteomics Center, Dr. Chen has an innovative track record in developing an array of new proteomic and proteogenomic technologies for both discovery and clinical application in cancer biology and immunology. He is also the UNC PI of the NCI Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC). He has developed many novel MS-based quantitative proteomic methods; he invented amino acid-coded mass tagging (AACT) (a.k.a SILAC) that has unique strengths for comparative analysis of protein-protein interactions and post-translational protein modification. The Chen lab has demonstrated the unique strength of quantitative proteomics in dissecting and discovering new pathways involved in immune\/inflammatory signaling and cancer epigenetic regulation.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"visualHighlight blue\">PUBLICATIONS<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<p><a
