Research Focus
Dr. Huang Chiao Huang's lab focuses on developing innovative therapies for advanced ovarian cancer. They create 3D models that simulate the conditions of ovarian tumors in the abdomen to understand how fluid shear stress affects cancer cell behavior and treatment resistance. The lab's goal is to engineer nanoparticles that can improve the targeting and effectiveness of chemotherapy, especially in cases where cancer cells become resistant to traditional treatments.
