The lab’s research is focused on cancer immunology, by investigating the function and regulation of phagocytes-mediated cancer immunological, biochemical and cell biological approaches. The lab’s studies aim to define the mechanisms utilized by cancer cells to evade the “immunity checks” mediated by phagocytes, and develop strategies to promote the clearance of cancer cells by the immune system. The lab believe this research will advance our knowledge of the basic principles of cancer development and metastasis, and may inspire a new class of therapeutics for cancer treatment.

My laboratory is interested in elucidating the circuit mechanisms governing the motor control in healthy and disease brains. Specifically, we use advance imaging techniques in combination with modern anatomical, genetic and functional circuitry analysis tools in mouse model to examine the principles governing neuronal connectivity among the cortex, thalamus and basal ganglia, which are involved in motor control and sensory-motor integration. We current focus on two parallel circuitry organization principles in the cortex and the striatum because alterations to these two circuits are the pivotal part of perturbations in the degenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease and frontotemporal dementia.
