Our current research includes the structural biological studies to understand the mechanisms by which G-protein-coupled receptors activate G-proteins, and translational cancer biology. We are developing small-molecule compounds to block tumor cell migration, invasion and metastasis, as well as to reinvigorate anti-tumor immune response. We also investigate the physiological functions of G-proteins in blood vessel formation and bone homeostasis.
