My research interests include cancer cell signaling, cancer genomics and tumor microenvironment, which are to reveal molecular alterations shared among different types of cancer and pointing to possible strategies for treatment.
In my laboratory, we have been studying DNA damage response and cancer genomic alterations (translocation, amplification, and deletion).
Moreover, we have been working on combined cancer treatment of chemo, photodynamic, and photothermal therapies. In future, my laboratory will continue these efforts in understanding cancer biology, identifying novel drug targets and therapies, and developing new cancer drugs using innovative nanoscale biomaterials.
Dr. Lu’s research interest spans across the field of cancer research, including human cancer genomics, targeted cancer therapy and cancer immunotherapy with a focus on solid tumors. He also has a long-standing interest in biomedical engineering.
