Wing Lam

Wing Lam has led the scientific investigation of PHY906 (Huang Qin Tang), a traditional Chinese herbal formula that has been evaluated in FDA-regulated clinical trials as an adjunct to chemotherapy for reducing gastrointestinal toxicity while maintaining anti-tumor efficacy. Her systems biology approach to understanding the multi-component mechanisms of PHY906 has established a paradigm for rigorous scientific study of traditional herbal formulas. She has demonstrated that PHY906 modulates intestinal stem cell regeneration and inflammatory pathways to protect against chemotherapy-induced mucositis.
