Biography
Chun-Chih Tseng is a Scientist in the Department of Developmental Neurobiology at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Tennessee, USA. He received his M.S. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and his Ph.D. in Genetic, Molecular, and Cellular Biology from the University of Southern California, followed by postdoctoral training at Princeton University. His research has uncovered key mechanisms underlying gap junction-mediated tissue patterning and noncanonical chaperone signaling in cancer. His current work centers on epigenetic regulation of neural stem cell development and its implications for neurological disorders and brain tumors.
Research Interest
My research interests focus on developmental biology and embryogenesis, stem cell regulation in health and disease, mechanisms of cancer metastasis and therapeutic resistance, and the integration of bioelectrical, biochemical, and morphogenetic signals in tissue patterning and organogenesis.
