Summary
The main research focuses of my lab are:
1. establishing new immunocompetent mouse models for lung cancer and utilizing them to study the therapeutic efficacy and mechanisms of novel combination of targeted therapy with immunotherapy
2. identifying new therapeutic vulnerabilities to overcome drug resistance in lung cancer
3. characterizing the organ-specific tumor immune contexture to develop immunotherapeutic strategies.
4. targeted degradation of KRAS mutants using in vivo PROTAC system.
