Identification and Characterization of Transcriptional Intermediary Factors Involved in Androgen-Independence of Prostate Cancer

Abstract

In my first year training that was supported by the DOD, I have been working on the identification of genes involved in the androgen independence progression of prostate cancer at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), with Dr. Charles L Sawyers. This training not only guides me to a better understanding of prostate cancer progression and scientific research as a whole, but also reassures that I want to devote my career to the prostate cancer research. During the course of this training period, I organized a joint meeting among four laboratories at UCLA who are studying the progression of prostate cancer. I regularly presented my experimental data in the laboratory meeting and the joint meeting. I attended seminar series such JCCC seminar, pharmacology department seminar. I reviewed papers that were submitted for publication in journals such as Molecular and Cellular Biology, Oncogene, Cancer Research, Cell Growth and Differentiation, and the Journal of Clinical Investigation. I became a reviewer for Cancer Research.
