Center for Cancer Immunology

Introduction

Cancer is the leading cause of death globally. The mission of the center is to identify novel therapeutic targets and develop new anti-cancer drugs using interdisciplinary, computational and biopharmaceutical technologies. Research areas covered in the center are broad, which include, but not limited to, cancer biology, immunology, pharmacology, pharmacodynamics, microbiology, gene & protein engineering, pharmacogenomics, biopharmaceuticals, cancer vaccines, gene therapy, drug safety evaluation and clinical trials, etc.  

Main Research Areas

Immunotherapy for cancer and inflammatory diseases which include CAR-T,antibody, and RNA drug development 

Molecular Mechanisms linking Inflammation and Cancer, and their implications for therapy 

Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms of Autoimmune Diseases and their Therapy 

Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Treg Cell Development and their Potential for Therapeutic Manipulation 

Development of Novel Immunotherapeutic Strategies to Treat Chronic Diseases
