Dr. Rui's research focuses on lymphoma biology, with an emphasis on JAK-STAT signaling in lymphomagenesis. Deregulation of this pathway contributes to pathogenesis of Hodgkin lymphoma and Non-Hodgkin lymphoma, including aggressive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Dr. Rui’s research aims to identify JAK and its downstream molecular targets for therapeutic applications to these cancers. His research interests also include investigation of the F-box protein FBXO10, which he has recently characterized as a potential tumor suppressor.
