Collaborations:

We are currently working with Drs. Paul Monga and David Geller on the ongoing projects related to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and seeking for more collaborations with clinicians and researchers to improve cancer therapies.

Resources:

We have different types of Cre mouse strains which allow to delete specific gene in different cell compartments, such as hematopoietic cells, stromal cells, macrophages and so on.
