Biography
Joshua Ko disciplines include pharmacology, toxicology, chemotherapy and gastroenterology. My current research interest and strength focus on the study of the carcinogenesis and pharmacotherapy of gastrointestinal cancers (particularly colon) by using active herbal medicinal compounds, and also on the identifi cation of key molecular drug targets. I have recently explored the potential anti-nociceptive and anti-infl ammatory actions of TCM formulations and single herbal drugs in the treatment of cancer pain and infl ammation pain. I employ different cell and molecular biology methods, animal models of cancer and pain, with increasing works using proteomics and metabolomics approaches in our current studies. The new ventures in the coming years include research works on micro-RNA and tumor-targeting peptides delivery system.
