The Tan laboratory works on virus-host interaction and antiviral drug discovery. By applying high-throughput technologies to identify key factors involved in the infection of and immune responses to HIV, Hepatitis B virus, Zika virus, and SARS-CoV-2, etc., the lab aims to discover new targets of antiviral drugs and vaccines. The lab also performs high-throughput antiviral small molecule compound screening to identify broad-spectrum antiviral agents. The ultimate goal is to improve our capability to treat currently circulated viruses and enhance our preparedness for emerging viral infections.
