J. Leung

OverviewAI-generated summary

J. Leung's research investigates molecular mechanisms underlying cancer, with a focus on radioresistance and DNA damage response pathways. Their work includes the discovery of a novel driver of radioresistance in pancreatic cancer, identified through genome-wide RNA-sequencing. Leung has secured federal funding to lead studies on the chromatin-based DNA damage response pathway and the mechanistic characterization of cell cycle-dependent DNA repair pathways. Additionally, Leung is a co-PI on a grant examining RNA modifications by paternal exposure to arsenic and its intergenerational effects on sperm quality, funded by the NIH/National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences.

Collaborative efforts include work with Alan Tackett at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, with whom Leung has shared publications. Leung maintains an active lab website to disseminate research findings.
