About
Juanjuan Xiang is a leading figure in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) research, with a primary focus on the molecular mechanisms underlying this aggressive cancer. Her groundbreaking work employs advanced genomic techniques to uncover tissue-specific gene expression patterns. In her highly cited 2003 study (71 citations), Xiang pioneered the use of suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) combined with cDNA microarray to identify genes uniquely expressed in nasopharyngeal epithelial tissue, as well as those differentially expressed in NPC. This foundational research provided critical insights into the molecular landscape of NPC, revealing potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets. By comparing nasopharyngeal epithelial tissue against a diverse panel of normal tissues, Xiang’s work established a comprehensive gene expression profile that has guided subsequent investigations into NPC pathogenesis. Her contributions have significantly advanced the understanding of tissue-specific gene regulation in cancer, with her SSH methodology becoming a standard approach in the field. Xiang’s research continues to influence NPC diagnostics and targeted therapy development, cementing her reputation as a key contributor to head and neck cancer genomics.
