Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

J. Leung's research investigates molecular mechanisms underlying cancer radioresistance and DNA repair pathways. A recent publication in 2022 focused on identifying a novel driver of radioresistance in pancreatic cancer through genome-wide RNA sequencing. Leung has served as Principal Investigator (PI) on two NIH grants totaling $432,528, supporting research into the chromatin-based DNA damage response pathway and the mechanistic characterization of cell cycle-dependent DNA repair. Additionally, Leung is a Co-PI on an NIH grant for $468,131, studying RNA modifications due to paternal arsenic exposure and their intergenerational effects on sperm quality. Key collaborators include Alan Tackett at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, with whom Leung has shared multiple publications.
