Dr. Pan is an associate professor of the Brown Foundation Institute of Molecular Medicine. His lab is interested in applying mass spectrometry based proteomics and other molecular techniques to study disease-associated proteome alterations. Dr. Pan's research focuses on the discovery of protein biomarker and drug targets in pancreatic cancer and other GI-tract diseases. His lab also supports proteomics investigation of neurological diseases, cancers, and chronic inflammatory diseases. Bioinformatics and systems biology are important components in Dr. Pan’s study for identification of protein modifications, analysis of protein interaction networks and regulatory pathways.
