Song Li, PhD

The research in Dr. Li's lab is focused on cell engineering. The ongoing cancer research projects in his lab include: (1)Development of cancer vaccine booster by promoting the formation of T memory stem cells (2) Development of artificial antigen presenting cells to enhance CAR-T cell expansion antigen presenting cells to enhance CAR-T cell expansion and (4) Local delivery of drugs for cancer therapy.
