Research Description:
Research in our Lab uses structural biology (X-ray crystallography and cryogenic electron microscopy single particle analysis), immunology and virology approaches to understand the mechanisms governing glycoprotein-medicated viral entry process and protective humoral immune responses induced by natural infection and vaccination. Furthermore, we implement structure-based design to the development of vaccines and antibody therapeutics against various emerging pathogenic viruses.
