Biography

Cun-Yu Wang, DDS, PhD, is a Professor and Chair in the School of Dentistry at the University of California, Los Angeles. His research focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms of inflammation, apoptosis, and oncogenesis. Over the years, Wang and his colleagues have made significant contributions to the field, including the discovery of NF-kappaB, a key stress-responsive transcription factor that serves as a major effector in inducible anti-apoptotic mechanisms. Currently, his laboratory investigates critical aspects of cancer biology and therapy, notably the regulation of tumor metastasis by NF-kappaB, the role of Wnt signaling in oncogenesis, and the molecular control of invasive growth in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Additionally, his research explores the functionality of human adult stem cells and cancer stem cells in relation to tumor development and progression.
