Research Areas

My research has focused on the role of diets and phytochemicals on carcinogenesis and chemoprevention. My research goal is to determined whether dietary fish oil is protective against early stage of colon carcinogenesis, and to investigate the behind mechanisms. My research has been approached in the respect of DNA damage, oxidative stress, cyclooxygenase, reactive oxygen species, nitric oxide, repair enzyme expression, apoptosis related with mitochondria, and cell kinetics. I am currently working on the effects of phytochemicals in colon cancer chemoprevention using a human colon cancer cell lines, and in prostate cancer prevention using a xenograph mouse model.
