About
Cun-Yu Wang is a Professor in both the Department of Dentistry and Department of Bioengineering at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA). His research bridges epigenetics, cancer biology, and stem cell differentiation, with a focus on oral oncology and skeletal regeneration.
- Current faculty member at UCLA (Dentistry & Bioengineering)
- Specializes in epigenetic regulation and tumor microenvironment
- Develops bioengineered materials for craniofacial repair
His work explores epigenetic mechanisms in cancer progression and stem cell fate, particularly in squamous cell carcinoma and osteoporosis. Recent studies investigate histone demethylases (KDM4B, KDM6B) and immune checkpoint proteins (PD-L1, TIM3) in tumor biology.
Key article trends include:
- Immune evasion in head and neck cancers
- Epigenetic control of osteogenesis and adipogenesis
- Applications of RNA sequencing technologies
- Bioengineered hydrogels for bone regeneration
- Role of non-coding RNAs in cancer stemness
- Interplay between metabolism and tumor suppression
Scientific contributions recognized through awards like the Suzanne Eaton, Ph.D. Memorial Prize and Taylor M. Brown Memorial Award. Collaborations span dentistry, bioengineering, and cancer immunotherapy research.
