The main research directions are prostate urogenital system tumors, the pathogenesis of male infertility and translational medical research.
The research interest lie in synthetic biology using different model organisms, focusing on development of new technologies for genes synthesis, assembly and synthetic genomics.
Investigate the roles of intracellular transportation in development, cellular function and diseases; Use synthetic biology approach to investigate biological pattern/structure formation, to develop vaccines against infectious diseases, and to create novel cancer treatment
Lab is credited with seminal discoveries regarding basic knowledge and clinical study of NK cells, particularly liver-resident NK cells, cytokine-producing NK cell subsets, and NK cell-based immunotherapy.
The current research interests include biosensors, nano-biology and molecular/cellular imaging and their applications in virology and cancer biology.
He is particularly interested in systematic and integrative analysis of pan-genomes of microbial taxa with the information of related metagenomes of microbiomes.
