Dr. Kwan’s research focuses on prostate cancer mechanisms, including androgen receptor dynamics, hormonal influences on neoplasia, and nutritional interventions like curcumin and vitamin E in cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. His work spans animal models, immunohistochemistry, and translational studies.
Recent publications highlight curcumin’s role in ameliorating atherosclerosis and steatohepatosis, vitamin E’s impact on macrophage activity in hypercholesterolemic models, and mechanistic studies on prostate cancer progression. These reflect interdisciplinary interests in oncology, medical physiology, and nutritional science.
