Xiyun Deng

Dr. Xiyun Deng received his doctoral degree in Pathophysiology from Central South University. He had completed postdoctoral research at the Ohio State University and at the Wayne State University. Dr. Xiyun Deng is currently a professor of Pathophysiology and Molecular Pathology and chair of Department of Basic Medical Sciences. He is the founder and serves as director of Key Laboratory of Translational Cancer Stem Cell Research at Hunan Normal University. Dr. Deng’s research, which has been funded by the NSFC and other funding agencies for over 15 years, focuses on the experimental therapeutics targeting cancer stem cells. His team discovered that post-translational modifications of non-histone proteins play a crucial role in metastasis and drug-induced cellular stress responses in cancer stem cells, upon which he proposed the concept of "reverse nucleolar stress". His work led to the development and mechanistic elucidation of cancer stem cell-targeting drugs (including a patented nanocarrier-based composite drug) particularly against triple-negative breast cancer. Dr. Deng has published over 100 articles/reviews including first-author and/or corresponding-author papers in Blood, Clinical Cancer Research, Cancer Treatment Reviews, ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, International Journal of Cancer, European Journal of Cancer, etc. As a principal editor, he has recently compiled a book titled "Triple-Negative Breast Cancer", which is published by World Scientific Publishing (Singapore). The undergraduates and graduates he mentored got several national-level awards including the "Challenge Cup" (2nd Prize), which is one of China’s highest honors for undergraduates/graduates.
