Research Interest
Tumor microenvironment plays a key role in tumorigenesis, progression and clinical response through intercellular interactions. Single cell genome analysis enables us to understand the cellular network in tumor and also clinical response to immunotherapy. Based on large single cell transcriptome data annotated with clinical information, we can discover novel cellular and molecular target for drug development
