研究领域

Our research is aimed at developing a better understanding of cancer biology and creating an improved gene-based therapy by exploiting special properties of the adenovirus. We have utilized the efficient gene transfer property of adenovirus to create improved, tissuetargeted therapeutic strategies for cancer. By applying this targeted gene-expression approach to molecular imaging, metastatic lesions were detected in living tumor-bearing mice. Transcriptional targeted approaches are being developed to express the different therapeutic genes and imaging genes in prostate and breast cancer models. In a second strategy, we are exploiting the distributive property of the adenovirus and use it to investigate tumor vasculatures and cancer metastasis. As a third strategy, the viral replication property is usurped to create cancer-specific lysis. Molecular imaging techniques such as optical CCD imaging and positron emission tomography (PET) are fundamental tools of our investigation. Our ultimate goal is to create a potent and effective cancer-targeted gene therapy to diagnose and treat advanced stage and metastatic cancer.
