Qihong Huang PhD, MD

Dr. Qihong Huang is currently working at Wistar Institute. Dr. Huang's laboratory uses a functional genomics approach to identify novel genes involved in the tumor metastasis process and the lab employs a chemical genetics approach to develop therapeutics to intervene in tumor metastasis.

Dr. Huang’s innovative investigation into metastatic breast cancer treatment ultimately led to this accolade from the PBCC. He plans to use these funds to facilitate research for the next chapter of this research story – to find a molecule that can target Gabra3 exclusively in breast cancer cells while sparing the protein that is present in the brain.
