Research Focus
Dr. Xuexian Yang's laboratory focuses on understanding allergic airway inflammation, which is a significant health issue affecting many people. The lab investigates the role of a specific group of immune cells, known as group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s), in the development of allergic responses and asthma. By studying how these cells are regulated, the lab aims to uncover new strategies for treating allergic asthma and improving patient outcomes.
