Hi, great to meet you here!

My name is Shang Su, currently a Research Assistant Professor in Dr. Xiaohong Li’s lab at the University of Toledo (UT). I will start my own research group as a Tenure-Track Assistant Professor in the Department of Comparative Biomedical Sciences at Louisiana State University (LSU) in August 2024. A new chapter in my life!

This website is designed to post my tech blogs in learning bioinformatics and some research notes.

Please feel free to reach out to me via email: shang.su # at # utoledo.edu

About Me

I got both my PhD and BS degrees from School of Life Sciences in Tsinghua University, China. After a short dip into industrial job, I realized I am more enthusiastic in basic scientific research. So I came to US and joined Dr. Xiaohong Li’s group as a post-doc. I received a DoD EHDA grant in 2022 and was promoted to Research Assistant Professor in July 2023. I will serve as an Assistant Professor in LSU starting from August, 2024. Currently, I am the PI of two DOD EHDA grants and the Co-I for another DOD EHDA grant (PI: Dr. Xiaohong Li, my postdoc mentor). I am interested in developing new approaches to understand drivers in prostate cancer bone metastases, with emphasis on targeted protein degradation approaches.

In my previous experiences, I worked on cell cycle and Wnt signaling, also on PROTAC-induced CDK6 degradation.
