About Dr. Sun
Dr. Ramon C. Sun received his Ph.D. in Biochemistry and Molecular biology from the Australian National University, Australia, and completed his Postdoctoral Fellowship at Stanford University. The primary research goal of the Sun lab is to elucidate signaling pathways that modulate complex carbohydrate metabolism and how they are connected to cellular and organismal physiology in neoplastic and aging-related diseases. Dr. Sun’s research is currently funded by the V Scholar Grant and three recently awarded NIH-R01.
