Research:

My research is focused on the molecular regulations of calcium signal in T cells and their roles in autoimmune diseases, especially multiple sclerosis (MS) - an autoimmune-mediated demyelination disease in humans. In addition I am also interested in searching the molecular mechanism of lymphoma formation.
