Yu-Ying leads a research program focused on understanding how normal cells respond to environmental carcinogens and transform into cancerous cells. Her laboratory investigates the roles of epitranscriptomics, epigenetics, and autophagy in maintaining genomic integrity and cellular homeostasis. Disruptions to these processes are important contributors to cancer development and therapeutic resistance. Dr. Yu-Ying places particular emphasis on skin cancers, especially squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma. Her research aims to uncover the molecular mechanisms that drive tumor initiation, progression, and resistance to treatment, with a long-term goal of identifying previously unrecognized, therapeutically accessible regulatory networks that influence susceptibility to skin cancer. Through her work, she seeks to advance the prevention and treatment of skin malignancies by providing novel molecular targets and predictive markers for clinical intervention.
