RESEARCH INTERESTS

Elucidation of the regulatory mechanisms in fine-tuning of anti-viral innate immunity

SELF-INTRODUCTION

I got my PhD degree focusing on understanding the E3 ligase activity of HSV-1 ICP0. Right now, I am concentrating on understanding how host E3 ligases and DUBs regulate the innate immunity.
