I lead a team of dynamic researchers (EMCRs and clinician researchers) at the forefront of investigating the complex roles of innate immune factors crucial in influenza virus and coronavirus infection and immuno-pathologies, and explore how these pathways are altered in people with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We also translate.

Newcastle, Australia

I employed several array analyses and molecular experimental techniques and discovered novel innate antiviral signaling mechanism that challenges current paradigm in viral innate immunology. This novel mechanism also modulates inflammatory responses and immuno-pathology induced by influenza virus infection.

New South Wales, Australia

I demonstrated a novel influenza virus internalisation mechanism (PI3K/SOCS5) that is shared by human and avian influenza viruses, and assessed potential therapeutic strategies based on this novel findings. This led to several accomplishments:1.) a prestigious Ann Woolcock Young Investigator Award 2.) a patent application on novel method of inhibiting.

I oversaw daily laboratory operations, managing research staff responsible for safety, equipment, and ordering. I executed efficient re-location of laboratory space into the new research building. This involved effective communication, interpersonal skills, and teamwork between research staff, facility management, and removalists. This led to shortened.

My research group at Emerging Infectious Diseases (EID) Signature Research Programme focuses on unraveling the intricate interactions between respiratory virus infection and human innate immunity, decoding the molecular mechanisms that underpin severe disease pathogenesis. Our research also extends to translational research in asthma and therapeutics.

Guest associate editor at Frontiers in Immunology & Frontiers in MicrobiologyAn invitation to organize a research theme on “Emerging Viruses: Host Immunity and Novel Therapeutic Interventions”. By using my wide collaborative and colleague network, this research theme has 17 published articles. The importance of this research topic is recognized and.

My PhD research was focused on influenza virus infection and human innate immunity. I demonstrated that human influenza virus effectively suppressed human antiviral immunity, but a constitutively expressed antiviral protein could counteract this suppression by the virus. High pathogenic avian influenza completed abolished the human antiviral responses.
