J. Leung

OverviewAI-generated summary

J. Leung's research focuses on molecular mechanisms underlying cancer radioresistance and DNA damage response pathways. Recent work includes the discovery of a novel driver of radioresistance in pancreatic cancer, identified through genome-wide RNA sequencing. This research contributes to understanding disease mechanisms at a molecular level.

Leung has served as Principal Investigator (PI) on multiple NIH-funded grants totaling over $430,000. These grants support studies on the chromatin-based DNA damage response pathway and the mechanistic characterization of cell cycle-dependent DNA repair. Additionally, Leung is a Co-Principal Investigator on an NIH/NIEHS grant investigating RNA modifications by paternal exposure to arsenic and their intergenerational effects on sperm quality, receiving $468,131.

Collaborations include work with Adam R. Wolfe, Alan J. Tackett, Stephanie D. Byrum, and Fen Xia at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, with shared publications indicating active research partnerships. Leung maintains an active lab website.
