Registration Onsite only / No pre-registration required

Our research addresses the fundamental biological question of how organisms distinguish self from non-self. Following our initial work on HIV detection by intracellular innate immune sensors, our research has expanded to encompass broader mechanisms of nucleic acid sensing, particularly the cGAS-STING pathway, and their roles in viral infections, cancer, and aging, as well as their therapeutic potential. In this talk, I will present our latest advances in these areas.
