Dr. Jing Chen's Laboratory @ UChicago

Our Research

Dr. Chen’s research focuses on elucidating the interplay between metabolic pathways and cell-signaling networks to advance understanding of cancer metabolism and improve clinical outcomes. His laboratory investigates the metabolic and signaling functions of intracellular metabolites and circulating “blood chemicals”—including those derived from diet, produced by the gut microbiota, or released by the central nervous system—that influence tumor initiation, progression, and responses to chemotherapy and immunotherapy.
