About Dr. Sun
Dr. Shao-Cong Sun is the Director of the Center for Inflammation and Cancer, the Moshe Talpaz Endowed Chair in Immunology, and a Professor in the Department of Immunology at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. His research concerns signal transduction in immune and inflammatory responses, with a major focus on the regulation of inflammatory T cell activation and differentiation. His lab has made a number of major contributions to the field, including pioneer work in NF- κ B signaling and seminal findings on the role of ubiquitination in regulation of T-cell activation and development of autoimmune inflammatory diseases. Dr. Sun was among the first to demonstrate I- κ B α inducible degradation as the fundamental mechanism of NF- κ B activation, and his laboratory also pioneered the discovery of the noncanonical NF- κ B pathway and demonstration of its regulatory mechanism. Dr. Sun’s laboratory has also made seminal findings regarding the role of ubiquitination in the regulation of T cell development, homeostasis, and activation and characterized a number of E3 ubiquitin ligases and deubiquitinases. An important part of his ongoing research is to dissect the ubiquitin-dependent signaling pathways in the regulation of T-cell activation and tolerance in animal models of inflammatory diseases and tumor microenvironment. Dr. Sun is a highly decorated immunologist and in 2015 received the Dallas/Fort Worth Living Legend Faculty Achievement Award.
