Yu, Aiming - University of California, Davis - Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Medicine

研究领域

Dr. Yu’s research interests include noncoding microRNA pharmacoepigenetics and cancer therapy. The ultimate goal of his research is to translate noncoding RNAs to new therapeutics. Current efforts in his laboratory are directed to the investigation of (a) the mechanistic actions of microRNAs in the regulation of cancer cellular processes including drug disposition and tumor progression, and (b) novel genetically engineered noncoding RNAs as cancer therapeutics. Dr. Yu also directs The PK/PD Bioanalytical Core Facility at UC Davis that is set up to provide bioanalytical services in support of the clinical and preclinical drug development programs. Investigators who are in need of the services may directly contact the Core Facility Manager Dr. Jimmy Wu chywu@ucdavis.edu.
