癌症是重要调控基因突变后关键细胞过程受损的结果。我是一名分子生物学家，我研究Bcl-2家族的蛋白质如何调节细胞凋亡，这是维持多细胞生物体内稳态所必需的细胞死亡过程，目的是设计药物来选择性地杀死癌细胞。我还对利用新的基因组技术发现与癌症发展有关的新基因感兴趣。

Cancers arise as a result of the impairment of critical cellular processes following the mutation of important regulatory genes. I am a molecular biologist and I study how the proteins of the Bcl-2 family regulate apoptosis, a process of cell death essential to maintain homeostasis in multicellular organisms, with the aim of designing drugs to kill cancer cells selectively. I am also interested in discovering new genes involved in the development of cancer using new genomics technology.
