Biography
Dr. Chun-Chih Tseng is a Research Associate in Department of Molecular Biology at the Princeton University, New Jersey, U.S.A. He completed his B.Sc. in Entomology from National Chung Hsing University, Taichung, Taiwan. Dr. Tseng graduated with Ph.D. in Genetics, Molecular, and Cellular Biology and M.Sc. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from University of Southern California, California, U.S.A. During his Ph.D., Dr. Tseng uncovered novel mechanisms regulating the presence of traditionally endoplasmic reticulum-resident chaperone, GRP78, on the breast cancer cell surface and discovered its previously unidentified role as a functional regulator of cancer stem cell marker, CD44. Dr. Tseng’s current research focuses are the molecular determinants of totipotency and bioelectric signaling in animal development. Dr. Tseng is actively serving as a reviewer for several academic journals and a member of multiple professional organizations.
