研究方向

(一) 幹細胞分化及癌症轉移的研究：細胞在生理微環境中透過黏著斑 (focal adhesions)的形成與細胞外間質(extracellular matrix)貼附，以感受並傳遞細胞外間質的生化及物理性刺激(包括: 細胞外間質組成、硬度、孔隙大小及形狀)，進而轉化為細胞內的生物信號，以調節細胞各式生理功能(包括:細胞分裂、分化、細胞移動及凋亡)。本實驗室透過各種模擬人體條件的狀況下，結合蛋白質體學分析及高階顯微鏡技術以探討間葉幹細胞分化及癌細胞轉移的調控機轉及應用。
Stem cell differentiation and cancer metastasis : Our research centers on the mechanosensitivity of integrin-based focal adhesions, which enable cells to sense and translate biochemical and physical cues from their microenvironment – such as extracellular matrix components, stiffness, and organization – into intracellular signals that govern cell behavior, differentiation, and survival. My group investigates how these integrin-mediated signals influence stem cell fate, myogenesis, and the progression of cancer metastasis.

(二) 傷口癒合材料的開發：纖維連接蛋白(fibronectin)為已知促進細胞移動的細胞外間質蛋白，本實驗室開發纖維連接蛋白純化之專利技術，將持續開發為傷口癒合材料。
Development of wound healing materials: We have developed a patented method for purifying fibronectin. Leveraging this purified fibronectin, my group continues to advance medical materials designed to promote wound healing.
