Research
Dr. Chang's research interests have concentrated on developing novel chemical probes to solve problems in various fields including chemical biology, chemical proteomics, metabolomics, medicinal chemistry and molecular imaging, as well as challenges in modern biology such as cancer therapy. The chemical probes would be useful for the development of potent and specific drugs targeting poorly characterized proteins from the earliest stages of target validation through medicinal chemistry optimization and even through pharmacodynamic studies during clinical trials.
