About

At the Tsung and Zhang Research Program, we are at the forefront of exploring the complex interplay between innate immunity, injury-induced inflammation, and the development of both primary and metastatic cancers. With a robust foundation in clinical, biological, and epidemiological sciences, our research uniquely blends these disciplines to unravel the mechanisms behind organ dysfunction and cancer progression.

Our mission is to transform groundbreaking discoveries in the lab into effective clinical treatments that improve patient outcomes. By leveraging human cohort data and clinical correlations from our animal models, we offer valuable mechanistic insights that bridge the gap between research and real-world healthcare.

Our lab is distinguished by its deep expertise in neutrophil and macrophage biology, as well as the study of damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP) danger responses. We employ human studies and meticulously designed animal models that closely mirror human conditions to drive innovative prevention and treatment strategies.

Our lab is dedicated to advancing the frontiers of cancer and liver disease research through a combination of rigorous scientific inquiry and clinical application. We are looking for passionate researchers, collaborators, and partners who share our vision of translating laboratory discoveries into life-saving therapies. If you are driven by the desire to make a tangible impact on patient care, we invite you to join our research group and be part of this exciting journey.
