From Sept. of 2004, Dr Wei worked as a Postdoctoral Fellowships at the
Department of Microbiology & Immunology, Center for Primate Biomedical
Research at University of Illinois, in there he studied the molecular
mechanism of Vγ2Vδ2 T cells recognize phosphoantigens, pathogenesis and
immunology of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. TB) in macaque
models.
Research Interests:
Dr. Wei’s primary research interest is in the study of envelope
glycoprotein gN regulation of BHV-1 pathogenicity and immunogenicity.
Ongoing research in his lab is focused on identification of the BHV-1 gN
domain(s) necessary for TAP and glycoprotein gM binding through virus
mutagenesis technology. Dr. Wei is also interested in development of
attenuated herpesvirus vaccines.
