      我们对癌症的理解已经从肿瘤细胞的内部调控扩展到肿瘤与微环境之间复杂的相互作用，并认识到癌症是一种全身系统性疾病。随着肿瘤对全身的影响，它不仅能诱导肝脏与肌肉代谢功能的失调，还导致了免疫系统功能紊乱；肿瘤不仅能直接调控远端组织器官的功能，还能通过调节组织器官之间的相互作用而破坏机体稳态。机体稳态的失衡既影响了抗肿瘤治疗的疗效和预后，也降低了癌症患者的生存率和生活质量。然而，我们对肿瘤诱导的宿主全身系统性病变机理的了解仍然匮乏，这严重阻碍了抗肿瘤治疗策略的发展，限制了治疗癌症及其并发症的效果。

本实验室从免疫、代谢及恶病质这三个方向深入探究肿瘤诱发宿主体内多组织、器官功能性病变的机理，为治疗癌症及其并发症，尤其是恶病质等提供重要的治疗靶点，以期提高患者的生存率和生活质量。主要研究方向包括：
1. 探究肿瘤诱导恶病质发生的分子机制
2. 探究肿瘤重塑机体免疫景观并抑制抗肿瘤免疫的机理
3. 探索抑制肿瘤诱导宿主系统性病变的治疗方法
