个人简介
特聘教授（张泽民院士团队）、博士生导师。致力于结合前沿的生物信息学方法和单细胞组学技术，通过深入解析肿瘤微环境组成，刻画不同细胞亚群功能特征在分子和细胞层面揭示肿瘤发生免疫逃逸机制，为开发新一代肿瘤免疫治疗靶点提供重要线索。目前研究成果以第一作者或通讯作者发表在Cell (2021, 2025)、Nature Cancer (2024)、Nature Communications (2021)、Genome Biology (2020)、Nucleic Acids Research (2019, 2017)等杂志上，并受邀在Cancer Cell杂志撰写关于肿瘤微环境内天然免疫细胞未来研究方向的评述。
