Rui Jing
Rui Jing got her PhD at Second Military Medical University in July 2021, where she focused on the efficacy and mechanism of small compounds on chemotherapy-induced Leukopenia. She joined Lu’s Lab in June 2023 as a postdoctoral fellow. Now, her main research focus is developing new tumor-specific Th9 cell-paradigm to eradicate advanced human tumors.
Wei Guo
Wei Guo received his PhD degree in Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica, China Academy of Science where he focused cancer biology and cancer pharmacology. He joined Lu’s lab in March 2023 as a postdoctoral fellow, focusing on the development of CAR-T cell therapy for solid tumors and novel strategy to overcome the obstacles posed by TME-induced dysfunction of CAR-T cells
Pan Su
Pan Su received his PhD in Shanghai Institute of Biochemistry and Cell Biology, China Academy of Science where he focused on the regulation of autoimmune responses and autoimmune diseases, like Multiple sclerosis and Asthma. He joined the Yi lab in November 2016, working on the tumor biology project. His research mainly focuses on determining the mechanisms about the regulatory role of tumor microenvironment and tumor associated-macrophages (TAMs) during the development, progression, and drug resistance in multiple myeloma. He also focuses on the tumor immunotherapy and the regulation of anti-tumor effect of T cells in tumor microenvironment. Pan Su enjoys some outdoor activities, fishing, traveling and reading in his spare time.
Jingya Wang
Jingya Wang received her Ph.D. in 2017 in biochemistry and molecule biology from Nankai University, China. Her interest lies in understanding the T cell function in inflammation and cancer. She joined Lu’s lab in September 2023. Her research mainly focuses on mechanisms of resistance to CAR T cell therapy and identifying key molecule that enhances T cell-based immunotherapy
