Research Focus:
Dr. Nho Luong’s research primarily focuses on understanding the intricate mechanisms of redox signaling and its implications in cellular function and disease pathogenesis. Through their studies, they explore the control of protein function via oxidation and reduction of persulfidated states, elucidating the role of reactive species and electron acceptors in cellular signaling pathways. Their investigations delve into the redox regulation of crucial proteins like HSP90 and protein tyrosine phosphatases, shedding light on the interplay between oxidative stress and signaling cascades. Dr. Luong’s work not only expands our comprehension of redox biology but also holds promise for the development of novel therapeutic strategies against diseases, particularly cancer. ๐ฌ๐งช
