Laboratory of Humoral Immunity and Immunotherapy
Research Field:
1) to elucidate how different antibody functions, such as agonistic and pathogenic function, are regulated by antibody intrinsic and extrinsic factors, and to develop novel methods to modulate antibody activity based on the understanding of fundamental principles, including strategies for optimizing agnostic cancer immunotherapeutic antibodies;
2) to understand how protective and autoreactive B cell differentiation is regulated, as well as the function of novel B cell subsets, such as CD11c+ age-associated B cells, and develop B cell-based methods for diagnosis and treatment.
Personal Introduction
Dr. Bin Li obtained his Ph.D. degree from Peking University in 2001 and did his postdoctoral training in Immunology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. He joined Institut Pasteur of Shanghai, CAS with CAS 100-Talent Program in 2009. Currently, he is the senior Principal Investigator and vice director for academic affairs at Shanghai Institute of Immunology Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine.
Prof. Li’s research focuses on FOXP3+ Regulatory T cells (Treg) in inflammatory diseases, as well as their therapeutical applications. Li is a leading scientist in the field of posttranslational modification of FOXP3 and Treg stability in China and worldwide. Li serves as Associate Editor of Science Bulletin since 2018, and an Executive Committee member and Associate Editor of European Journal of Immunology since 2020. His work on Treg has been supported by a number of major grants including one National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars, three NSFC Key Grants and two NSFC international collaborative grants.
