Molecular Endocrinology and Molecular Biology:

Nuclear receptor superfamily is a group of transcription factors regulated by small hydrophobic hormones such as retinoic acid, thyroid hormone, and steroids and also includes a large member of related proteins that do not have known ligands, referred to as orphan nuclear receptors. My major research interests are 1) to investigate the role of orphan nuclear receptor in the regulation of pro- or antiviral host factor gene expression, 2) to screen and characterize novel ligand of orphan nuclear receptor for the control of virus infection and 3) to examine the transcriptional regulation of secretory protein induced by viral infection.
