He worked as a gastrointestinal surgeon in China and as a pathologist in Japan. His research interest is in understanding the molecular mechanism(s) of breast cancer. In 2000, Dr. Shan joined the Chemical Carcinogenesis Section, LEC, as a postdoctoral fellow where he is currently working to find the genes responsible for carcinogenesis in the mammary gland, including genes affecting growth and differentiation. He is also studying the signaling pathways in chemically-induced rat mammary gland cancers and in cell lines.
