研究方向
长期关注组织器官间通讯与疾病特别是胃与肠、肝、脑等器官之间的相互作用与重塑，从上皮、间质、免疫、神经等不同类型细胞相互协同的角度阐释胃肠组织稳态与疾病发生，从分子细胞信号机制的角度探索中枢及外周神经与胃癌发生发展的关系。近年来研究胃肠道肿瘤发生及免疫应答，代表性工作聚焦Hippo信号通路调控肿瘤发生及免疫应答的机制与功能，发现了一批疾病诊断标志物和先导药物，以通讯或共同通讯作者在Cancer Cell (2020/2014)、Nat Immunol (2015)、Nat Commun (2022/2017)、J Clin Invest (2022)、J Exp Med (2020/2018)、EMBO J (2020/2015) 、Cancer Res (2021)、Adv Sci (2021) 、Protein Cell (2023/2013)、Cell Res (2014/2012)、Cell Discov (2019)、Nano Lett (2021) 、Cell Rep (2012)等国际学术期刊发表研究论文80余篇，参与编写英文专著1部，申请发明专利10余项。成果被Cell、Nature、F1000Prime等评价和推荐，多次应邀为Oncogene、Cellular Molecular Immunology、FrontiersCellDevelopmentalBiology等撰写综述或组织主题专刊，为国际学术会议做大会报告，为Nature Cell Biology、Nature Chemical Biology、Journal of Clinical Investigation、Journal of Experimental Medicine、Cell Research、ProteinCell等国际学术期刊审稿。
