Liang Weicheng, Ph.D. Graduate in Biomedical Sciences

I am honored to have the opportunity to study at the School of Biomedical Sciences at The Chinese University of Hong Kong. In 2010, I joined Professor Mary Miu-yee Waye's laboratory as a Ph.D. candidate. After graduating in 2014, I received my postdoctoral training under the supervision of Professor Jinfang Zhang and Professor Hector Sun-on Chan. Studying at CUHK has given me the excellent opportunity to learn the latest research advances from all over the world. I am also delighted to make friends with many excellent mentors and peers at CUHK. I am very grateful to them for their generous support in my life and studies.

Thanks to my training at the School of Biomedical Sciences, I have published several articles on inflammation and cancer biology. These include the discovery of a previously unknown protein-coding function of circβ-catenin (Genome Biology), the identification of the pro-inflammatory function mediated by the GHRHR/JAK/STAT axis (PNAS), a study of RNA modification and cancer stem cells (Molecular Cancer), and an investigation of the impact of coronavirus on intestinal inflammation (Gut).

Since 2017, I have been working at The Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, a comprehensive hospital renowned for clinical diagnosis and treatment of liver diseases. My laboratory primarily focuses on the functional role of epigenetics in liver cancer and fibrosis. I also serve as the Deputy Director at the editorial office of Liver Research. This Journal is the first English journal focusing on liver disease in South China and publishes clinical and basic research on liver diseases. Looking forward, I will continue to work hard and hope that our work will shed light on developing novel therapeutic approaches against liver cancer.


非常榮幸有機會能在香港中文大學生物醫學學院學習。2010年,我進入生物醫學學院韋妙宜教授的實驗室學習。2014年畢業後,我先後在張錦芳教授和陳新安教授的指導下開始博士後研究工作。在香港中文大學就讀讓我有機會見識到世界各地的最新研究進展,在這裏也非常高興能夠認識許多良師益友。也非常感謝他們,在我的生活和學習中給予了非常多無私和寶貴的幫助。

有賴於在生物醫學學院的系統訓練,近年來我圍繞炎症和腫瘤領域發表了數篇論文,重要研究包括circβ-catenin的蛋白編碼功能(Genome biology)、GHRHR/JAK/STAT信號通路促進炎症發展 (PNAS)、RNA修飾與腫瘤幹細胞(Molecular cancer)、新冠病毒與腸道炎症(Gut)等。

2017年,我回到中山大學附屬第三醫院工作至今,這是一所以肝病臨床診療見長的綜合性醫院。我的實驗室主要致力於表觀遺傳學在肝癌以及肝纖維化中的作用。同時,我也擔任了Liver Research雜誌編輯部的副主任。Liver Research是華南地區第一本英文肝病專科雜誌,發表肝臟疾病相關的臨床與基礎研究。未來我會繼續努力,希望能夠在肝癌的臨床治療方面作出更好的臨床轉化工作。
