I am a Research Scientist in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Medicine at the George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences. I received my Ph.D. in fermentation engineering from Tianjin University of Science and Technology and received extensive training in molecular biology and cancer signaling at the National Center for Protein Sciences (Beijing), focusing on DNA damage response and O-GlcNAcylation. My current research centers on the biological functions and non-canonical enzymatic activities of histone deacetylases (HDACs), especially HDAC11. I am investigating how HDAC11 acts as a lysine defatty-acylase and how this activity affects protein stability, localization, and downstream signaling pathways involved in cancer progression and immune regulation. This work contributes to our understanding of HDAC biology and helps identify potential therapeutic targets.
