Dr. Ruey-Long Hong is a professor at the Graduate Institute of Oncology, College of Medicine, National Taiwan University and is also a visiting staff physician at the Department of Oncology, National Taiwan University Hospital.
Dr. Hong received his medical degree from College of Medicine, National Taiwan University in 1982 and was awarded his PhD by the Graduate Institute of Clinical Medicine at the same institution in 1996. He was a visiting scientist at Department of Oncology, University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center from 1995 to 1996.
Dr. Hong’s major research interest is liposomal drug development, clinical and translational research of nasopharyngeal carcinoma and head and neck cancers. He has published the results of many preclinical and clinical studies and is the author of several book chapters and invited review articles. He also is the editor of JFMA (Journal of Formosa Medical Association). 

❖ Introduction:
Dr. Wen-Chun Hung has involved in cancer biology study for more than 20 years. Dr. Hung’s research focuses on the functional interaction between cancer and stromal cells in the metastasis of breast cancer, lung cancer and pancreatic cancer. He integrates molecular and biochemical methods to investigate the roles of different molecules including matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), MMP inhibitors, chemokine, chemokine receptors, and receptor tyrosine kinases in the migration, invasion and organ tropism of cancer cells. In addition to molecular and cellular experiments, he uses different animal models to explore in vivo function of these molecules.
He joined National Institute of Cancer Research, National Health Research Institutes in early 2011 and worked as an Investigator of the institute. He initiates two new projects after joining NHRI. The first one is the role of oncometabolites in cancer progression. By collaborating with the Metabolomics core of NHRI, he identifies the metabolites with potential oncogenic activity and tries to elucidate the underlying mechanism by which oncometabolites promote tumor metastasis. He collaborates with intramural and extramural PIs with strong background in metabolimics, stem cell biology and bioinformatics to carry out systemic study. The second is the crosstalk between cancer cells and lymphatic endothelial cells (LEC). He establishes several cancer cell lines with high lymphatic-tropic preference and is now studying the global gene expression profiles and specific target genes in these cell lines. He will try to dissect the role of the key players in lymphatic tropism in vitro and in vivo.
The ultimate goal of Dr. Hung’s study is to identify the critical molecules involved in regional and distant metastasis and translate his findings into cancer therapy or cancer prevention.

Chin-Tarng Lin, D.D.S., Ph.D., has devoted more than four decades to perform molecular and pathological cancer research and teaching. He was a pathology professor and is an Emeritus professor right now at the College of Medicine, National Taiwan University and Hospital. He has published more than 91 papers with 12 patents, and has been invited to give the scientific seminar over 75 times. He has presented 189 abstracts to attend the world wide biomedical science meetings. His research interests include the development of immunohistochemical localization of protein, mRNA and DNA molecules at the light and electron microscopic levels and peptide histochemistry to identify the peptide targeted binding protein. He has established 10 nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell lines (NPC-TW01 to 10) and four endometrioid cancer cell lines (OV-TW59-P0 to P4) in his laboratory. His major interests are to investigate the molecular pathogeneses of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) with or without Epstein-Barr virus infection and ovarian cancer. He has identified and verified some NPC and endometrioid cancer related genes. He and his colleague have also identified some specific peptides (12 a. a.) to localize their targeted proteins, to identify the cancer xenografts by MRI and to perform peptide-targeted chemotherapy for NPC, breast cancer, hepatoma, pancreatic cancer and other cancers. Those works are continuously going on for the time being.
❖ Major Research Interests:
1. Molecular pathogenesis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) and ovarian cancer. A. Establishment of NPC cell lines ( NPC-TW01-10). B. NPC and associated viruses (EBV). C. Mechanism and functional analysis of EBV infection in NPC cells. D. Establishment of ovarian endometrioid carcinoma cell line ( P0-P4).
2. Physiological role of GTP binding regulatory protein (Go) in regulation of microtubule organization in NPC. 
3. Effects of antitumor agents (glyfoline, AHMA, angiostatin, nucleolin antisense probe) on NPC cells.
4. The global survey of altered gene expression profilings in NPC and Epstein-Barr virus-infected nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells and in ovarian endometrioid carcinoma cell lines.
5. Regulation of NPC tumor suppressor related genes in NPC: SOX 5 gene, SPARC, activin, CCL28, Vanin, mirRNA-1 and mirRNA-486.
6. Funcitonal analysis of NOLC-1, IGFBP6 genes in NPC and Invasion-related oncosuppressor gene IGFBP3 in ovarian endometrioid carcinom.
7. Translational research on ligand-targeted chemotherapy.
- A. L-Peptide- and PC5-52 peptide- targeted chemotherapy against NPC and breast cancer.
- B. L-Peptide- and PC5-52 peptide- targeted chemotherapy for hepatoma and pancreatic cancer.
