Research Focus

Our lab focuses on vaccine immunology, aiming to elucidate the immune response mechanisms against infections and tumors, particularly how the host immune system recognizes and eliminates "non-self" targets. These insights are used to guide the design and clinical translation of innovative vaccines, with the goal of developing novel immunotherapeutic strategies that offer both preventive and therapeutic efficacy.
