Gyeongbuk, Republic of Korea. Our research mainly focuses on cancer cell
biology, inflammation and cell senescence. Presently, we are working on role of
naturalcompounds on anticancer activity. We are using colon cancer, breast
cancer and lung cancermodel. We discovered many compounds which directly
modulates apoptosis and autophagyin inflammatory and cancer models. We are also
trying to find out the role of autophagy andautophagy modulating compounds on
drug resistant cancer cell models.
