RESEARCH INTERESTS:
My laboratory is to investigate the key receptors responsible for microbial infection, cancer invasion, and autoimmune responses, and generate antibodies as candidate for therapeutic reagents. As fibrotic change is the consequences of inflammatory reactions and leads to organ dysfunction in chronic inflammation, we produce immunomodulator to skew macrophages differentiation into M2-like phenotype to promote tissue repair.
