Cheung Ching For Peter

Dr. Cheung Ching For Peter is a Senior Lecturer at the School of Biological Sciences, Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore. His research focuses on immunology, virology, and cell signaling pathways with significant contributions to understanding molecular mechanisms of immune responses.

Dr. Cheung received his academic training in the United Kingdom:

• BSc in Biochemistry from Cardiff University, UK
• PhD in Biochemistry from Imperial College, University of London, UK

His research interests span several areas of molecular and cellular biology with a particular focus on immune system signaling pathways. Dr. Cheung's work has contributed to our understanding of:

• Interferon signaling pathways in viral infections
• TAK1 kinase in innate immunity and cell signaling
• Ubiquitination processes in immune regulation
• Cellular responses to oxidative stress

Dr. Cheung has published several significant papers in reputable journals including PLoS ONE, Journal of Biological Chemistry, and IUBMB Life. His recent work (2011-2013) has primarily focused on the molecular mechanisms of immune responses, particularly examining how cells respond to viral infections and regulate inflammatory pathways through proteins like TAK1 and Pellino1.

As a Senior Lecturer at NTU, Dr. Cheung is actively involved in teaching and research at the School of Biological Sciences, where he contributes to the education of undergraduate and graduate students in biochemistry and related fields.
