Lab Leader: Yan Zhang Ph.D.

Lab Name: Laboratory of Cancer Immunotherapy

Lab Info：Our laboratory has focused on the fundamental mechanism of immune recognition and cancer biology, including both mechanisms that uncover the link between autoimmunity and cancer immunity, and on translating the new concept for production of new generation of cancer immunotherapeutic. We will focus on the most pressing unanswered questions in cancer immunotherapy, including a deeper understanding of the mechanisms of 1) tumor immunity and autoimmunity 2) response and resistance to current immunotherapy strategies, to help develop safe and effective treatments to benefit more patients, including new antibodies, new targets, new compounds and combinational therapeutics.
