Research Focus

Dr. Qun Tang’s research squarely targets phosphate‑modulated liver oncology and theranostics 🧬🩺. He engineers inorganic‑phosphate binders and polymeric drug‑loading beads 🟤 to perform trans‑arterial embolization, simultaneously starving tumors and reshaping the micro‑environment 🎯. By blocking XPR1‑mediated phosphate efflux, his team triggers mitochondrial dysfunction in hepatocellular carcinoma cells ⚡️, while low‑Pi stress irreversibly repolarizes tumor‑associated macrophages 🛡️ and dampens angiogenesis 🌱. Tang also discovers how binders like sevelamer deactivate hepatic stellate cells to reverse fibrosis 🧫. Overall, his work fuses immunometabolism, interventional radiology, and targeted drug delivery to forge next‑gen therapies for liver cancer and chronic liver disease.
