Research interest
​Immunology
I am very enthusiastic about studying the disequilibrium of the subpopulation of cells in organism caused by those diseases, micro/macro/nano RNAs, the role of T-cells, and other topics. I would like to approach those issues from such perspectives as the activation of immunocytes, the co-stimulating cells of proliferation, and the activated signal transduction.
