About Us
A healthy immune system is vital to protect us against pathogen invasion as well as cancer. Successful pathogens establish foothold in human host by evolving immune-evasion strategies to avoid immune destruction, allowing them to persist in the host. This results in immune-exhaustion, protracted inflammation that is destructive to tissue, and increased risk of cancer.
Since established in September 2013, our laboratory has been exploring different aspects of host-pathogen interaction, including recognition, evasion, and leukocyte migration during infection. We are also interested in elucidating the transcriptional regulatory network in lymphocyte differentiation and its implication in cancer as well as autoimmune disorders.
Lymphocyte Differentiation
Keys in igniting adaptive immune response
Chlamydia trachomatis
Most common bacterial sexually transmitted disease (STD)
Helicobacter pylori
A culprit in gastric cancer and duodenal ulcer
Others
Microorganisms detrimental to host immune system
