👥Biography 个人简介
International leader in apoptosis resistance and IAP (inhibitor of apoptosis protein) biology in cancer. Pioneered research on how cancer cells evade apoptosis through overexpression of IAP proteins and developed pharmacological IAP antagonists (Smac mimetics) as therapeutic agents to restore apoptotic sensitivity.
🧪Research Fields 研究领域
🎓Key Contributions 主要贡献
IAP Inhibitors and Apoptosis Resistance
Elucidated the molecular mechanisms by which IAP proteins block apoptosis in cancer cells and developed Smac mimetics as pharmacological IAP antagonists, demonstrating that restoring apoptotic sensitivity can overcome drug resistance in multiple cancer types.
Representative Works 代表性著作
Smac agonists sensitize for Apo2L/TRAIL- or anticancer drug-induced apoptosis and induce regression of malignant glioma in vivo
Nature Medicine (2002)
Demonstrated that Smac mimetics sensitize cancer cells to apoptosis-inducing agents, establishing IAP inhibition as a therapeutic strategy for cancer.
