Welcome to the Chen Lab
Projects
The Chen Lab works to understand the molecular, biochemical, and functional aspects of cell surface molecular pathways, including costimulatory and coinhibitory molecules, in the control and modulation of immune responses. We are interested in translating laboratory findings into the development of new treatment options for cancer, autoimmune disease, viral infection, transplantation rejection, and inflammation.
