Research Interest

Study the immunopathogenesis in response to viral infections and develop vaccines to protect against these infections Investigate the immune reactions and the development of memory T cells in response to acute viral infections or vaccines Based on these studies, develop novel and effective vaccine strategies.
Examine the function and development of T helper cells which plays a crucial role in developing allergic diseases.
Determine the migratory pathways of T helper cells which mediate the development of autoimmune diseases
