Research Description

Our laboratory conducts human antibody related researches at the intersection of biology and medicine. We take interdisciplinary approaches to develop innovative biologics for diseases prevention and therapy, mainly focus on infectious diseases and cancer diseases. Research programs include: 1) identification and validation of novel therapeutic targets; 2) development of novel therapeutic human monoclonal antibodies; 3) developing new antibody engineering technologies; 4) biologics production and pre-clinical validation of new antibody drugs, etc.
