Scholarship Description:
The Wu laboratory is interested in understanding the fundamental mechanism of innate immunity and its impact on adaptive immunity, inflammation and cancer. Dr Wu’s laboratory is currently using diverse approaches and mouse disease models to uncover the novel immunostimulatory or immunosuppressive mechanisms of the cGAS-STING pathway in antitumour immunity and autoimmunity. The overall goal of the Wu lab is to harness innate immunity to develop novel immunotherapies for cancer and inflammatory diseases.
The Cleveland Clinic is ranked the 2nd best hospital in the world by U.S. News & World Report. The Lerner Research Institute is the home of laboratory-based, translational and clinical research at the Cleveland Clinic. As part of an international hospital system, our scientists have unparalleled access to diverse patient samples, data and opportunities to collaborate with physicians to answer the most pressing clinical questions through research.
Available Subjects:
