Laboratory Introduction
The laboratory of Yu Zhang at the Chinese Institutes for Medical Research (CIMR) works on the identification of key molecules in tumor immunology, by genome-wide functional screenings, multi-omics, high-throughput sequencing technology, and bioinformatic analysis. Our ultimate goals are developing new strategies for tumor immunotherapy, and translating basic research into clinical trials.
