The Chen Laboratory focuses on developing novel molecule-based and cell-based immunotherapies for treatment of various cancers and understanding mechanism(s) by which HIV infection promotes the development or progression of tumors.
- Novel immunotherapies for mesothelin-expressing cancers that combine a mesothelin-targeted immune-activating fusion protein with blockade of PD-1/PD-L1 or CXCR4/CXCL12 pathway
- New subsets of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and its derived extracellular vesicles/exosomes for treatment of various cancers
- Regulatory B cells (Breg) in the development of AIDS-related tumors
