Mucosal Immunology, Immunity, Inflammation
Research Interests:
(1) Identification of new mechanisms of immune regulation on mucosal infections and inflammations at molecular and cellular immunology level;
(2) How the mucosal immune system distinguishes pathogenic from non-pathogenic microbes, how pathogens evade innate and adaptive immunity, how host-pathogen interactions impact clearance versus exacerbation of disease;
(3) Harnessing innate and adaptive immunity for developing mucosal vaccines and immunotherapeutic strategy.
