研究领域

Dr. Deng received his Ph.D. degree from Peking University in 2009 (mentor: Dr. Jindong Zhao). He finished his postdoctoral trainings in the labs of Dr. Mark Greene, Constantinos Koumenis and Paula Oliver in Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia from 2011 to 2017. After this, he worked as Research Associate in the lab of Dr. James Riley in Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania in 2018. He is currently a tenure-track assistant professor at the Department of Immunology, School of Basic Medical Sciences, Peking University. T cells play critical roles in the adaptive immune system. The overall research interest of Deng lab is to investigate the mechanism of T cell activation, tolerance and engineering for effective immunotherapy. We use genetic and immunological approaches to determine the signaling pathways regulating T cell function in models of autoimmunity and tumor immunity. In addition, we collaborate extensively with clinics in analyzing the T cell function of patients. We are interested in studies aimed at translating fundamental understanding of T cell function into new therapies for autoimmune diseases and cancer.
