长期从事Hippo信号通路的生物学功能和调控机制研究，探究其失控导致免疫失调、癌症发生等疾病的致病机理和靶向干预的策略，聚焦损伤组织的修复再生和尺寸大小如何调控的科学问题开展了系列研究：揭示Hippo信号通路是高等生物中调控器官再生和大小的关键性通路，系统解析该通路在细胞增殖、凋亡、分化及稳态维持等细胞生命活动中的功能及其调控机制，阐明该通路失调导致组织衰竭、肿瘤和免疫疾病发生的致病机理，筛选获得靶向Hippo蛋白激酶Mst1/2的小分子抑制剂（XMU-MP-1），可有效促进肝脏和肠道的修复与再生，已获得专利。
The Hippo pathway has emerged as a critical developmental pathway contributing to processes that regulate tissue growth and organ size. Our research group aims to characterize the regulation and physiologic functions of the Mst1 and Mst2 protein kinases, which are the mammalian orthologs of the “hippo” kinase. Recently, we have made several exciting discoveries regarding the physiological functions of these two kinases. The liver phenotype reflects an essential, overlapping function of Mst1 and Mst2 in the negative regulation of liver cell proliferation, whereas the lymphocyte cell phenotype reflects predominantly the loss of Mst1/2-mediated regulation of cell adhesion and migration. The identification of the molecular elements upstream and downstream of the Mst1/2 kinases for each of these functions is the focus of present effort.
