Overview

Lawrence L. K. Leung is affiliated with Stanford University in the United States. Their research spans multiple fields, primarily focusing on medicine and biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology. Within these broad areas, their subfields of study include molecular biology, epidemiology, hematology, rheumatology, and pharmacology.

They have contributed extensively to topics such as adipokines, inflammation, and metabolic diseases; bone and dental protein studies; dental development and anomalies; blood coagulation and thrombosis mechanisms; apelin-related biomedical research; cancer research and treatments; and oral and maxillofacial pathology.

Leung has published numerous papers, with some of the recent ones listed below:

  • Chemerin Forms: Their Generation and Activity (2022) in Biomedicines
  • Chemerin regulates formation and function of brown adipose tissue: Ablation results in increased insulin resistance with high fat challenge and aging (2021) in The FASEB Journal
  • Thrombin cleavage of osteopontin initiates osteopontin's tumor-promoting activity (2022) in Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis
  • Thrombin Cleavage of Osteopontin and the Host Anti-Tumor Immune Response (2023) in Cancers
  • Chemerin in Participants with or without Insulin Resistance and Diabetes (2024) in Biomedicines

The most frequent publication venues for Leung include Biomedicines and the Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis, where they have published four papers each. Other venues include Regular and Young Investigator Award Abstracts, The FASEB Journal, and Cancers.

Collaboration is an important part of Leung's research. They have worked frequently with co-authors such as John Morser, Lei Zhao, Qin Zhou, Timothy Myles, and Toshihiko Nishimura.

Leung has been recognized as a member of the Association of American Physicians.
