Research Interests
I am fascinated with biology, especially immunology, and I devote myself to basic science research with the hope of making our healthcare system better. I believe that the immune system holds the keys to the understanding of many fundamental biological processes, as well as disease states such as autoimmunity, obesity, and cancer.
