Cao Lab investigates humoral immunity and antibodies at single-cell and molecular level. Our research interests include the following aspects:

  • Antibody response, immune escape and immune imprinting in infectious diseases
  • Development of broad-spectrum antibody therapeutics and vaccines
  • Deciphering the relationship between targeting epitopes and functions of antibodies for various antigens
  • Computational and machine learning methods for modeling antibody-antigen interaction
