Professor
Prof. Lin received his Ph.D. degree from Taipei Medical University, Taiwan, in 2007 and completed his postdoctoral training at Institute of Biological Chemistry, Academia Sinica, Taiwan , in 2014. As postdoctoral fellow, Prof. Lin worked on screening of protein targets using iodoacetamined-based probes for developing new anti-cancer drugs and identified that targeting the protein-protein interactions (PPIs) of CCT-beta/beta-tubulin (Cancer Research, 2009) and XIAP/Caspase-7 (Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2013) complexes are capable of effectively killing multidrug-resistant cancers. Then, Prof. Lin was employed as Assistance Professor in 2014 and became the Full Professor in 2021 at Graduate Institute of Clinical Medicine, Taipei Medical University.
Our laboratory is interested in identifying new biomarkers using public databases, such as The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), for predicting the effectiveness of anti-cancer therapies, e.g. radiotherapy, chemotherapy and immunotherapy, in different cancer types. We have set up several cell-based assays to examine the irradiation/chemotherapeutic/immunotherapeutic sensitivity and cellular migration/invasion ability of tested cancer cells. We have also established orthotopic mouse models for breast cancer and oral cancer to evaluate the capacity of identified oncogenic drivers in promoting tumor growth and distant metastasis. Because genetic defects frequently result in the alteration of protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, our laboratory is also interested in discovering drug-targetable PPIs in malignancies by utilizing iodoacetamide-based probes.
