Research Summary
Small molecule regulated oncoprotein ubiquitination and degradation by ubiquitin ligase
Research Statement
I study the molecular mechanism of biological small molecule regulated substrate ubiquitination and degradation by its native E3 ubiquitin ligase. For drug discovery, together with other team members, we aim to discover small molecules for targeted oncoprotein ubiquitination and degradation by selected E3 ubiquitin ligase.
