The research in Yin lab lies at the interface of engineering and immunology, employing a biomaterials-centric approach to elucidate key mechanisms for potentiating or diversifying the immune responses, and to precisely modulate the immune system for creating new immunotherapies against cancer and infectious diseases.
Our lab will leverage cutting-edge technologies in polymer chemistry, materials science, nanotechnology, systems immunology, and organoid models to advance developments in cancer immunotherapy and anti-viral vaccines.
