Genetic Bases of Host Response to Infections and Chronic Diseases
The research in my laboratory is focused on understanding the genetic bases of host response to infections and chronic diseases, which are important for human health. My team uses mouse model for speeding up the process of identifying such genes, which may involved of making some people resistant to a diseases while others are not. After finding the genes in mouse, it will be possible to identify the homologous genes in human. The product of our research can be used in developing new prevention and treatment tools for these diseases.
The main ongoing research projects at his lab are:
