Research emphasizes the interplay between dysregulated signaling pathways and epigenetic modifications in carcinogenesis. Current efforts include uncovering microenvironmental factors driving tumorigenesis and exploring therapeutic strategies to correct signaling pathways. Lin teaches courses such as MEDT 200 (Language of Medicine), MEDT 270 (Medical Microbiology), and MEDT 390 (Molecular Diagnosis).
