Research Interests

The lab is mainly interested in two research subjects: (1) how the in vivo activities of cancer immunotherapeutic antibodies are regulated and can be optimized; (2) how B cell development and differentiation are regulated.

Among several ongoing research projects in the lab, we are studying how the interaction between agonistic anti-tumor antibodies and Fcγ receptors impacts on their in vivo activities.

Fcγ receptors have complex interplay with immunoglobulins and regulate both afferent and efferent immune responses. Fcγ receptors are also critical mediators and regulators of therapeutic antibodies’ activities. The research of the lab is focused on the function of Fcγ receptors in immunoregulation and immunotherapy and the underlying molecular mechanism, such as their regulation on B cell response, and on the activities of different classes of antibodies including agonistic antibodies.
