About
Dr. Chang Sung’s teaching and research are rooted in genetics and cancer biology. His work investigates protein-destruction pathways regulating tumor suppressors, aiming to inform novel therapeutic approaches in ovarian carcinoma and related cancers. He also explores microRNA (miRNA) biomarkers for early cancer detection and progression monitoring, and examines promoter methylation mechanisms that shape oncogenic signaling and therapeutic response.

- Tumor suppressor regulation: E3 ligase pathways and proteasomal control of tumor suppressors.
