Research area
Mucosal immunity and regulation of mucosal diseases, focusing on: The interaction between intestinal microbiota and intestinal lymphocytes under physiological and pathological conditions; The anti infection mechanism of respiratory mucosal immune system induced by respiratory pathogen infection.

Research content and significance
1.The regulatory mechanism of the interaction between gut microbiota and intestinal lymphocytes under physiological and pathological conditions. Study the relationship between gut microbiota and the establishment and functional regulation of the intestinal mucosal immune system during the occurrence and development of enteritis and colorectal cancer, and explore immune intervention strategies based on symbiotic bacterial regulation.
2. Anti-infection response of the respiratory mucosal immune system. To reveal the anti-infection immune response in the lung tissues, identify mucosal immune cell subsets by multi-omics methods, and study the dynamic regulation of respiratory immune system, so as to provide a theoretical basis for respiratory vaccine design and drug development.
