Over the last decade, cancer immunotherapy, especially checkpoint inhibitors, has revolutionized the clinical management of multiple difficult-to-treat tumor types. However, there only less than 30% of patient will have durable clinical responses. There is now an urgent need to identify mechanisms of immunotherapy resistance, to predict outcome and to identify targets for combination therapy, which is at the forefront of current basic and translational cancer research.
An intense focus of research in lab of Dr. Liu is to investigate the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying the cancer development, metastasis and immune evasion. They are also interested in identifying biomarkers and context-specific therapeutic targets for personalized cancer medicine. Their mission is to eliminate cancer as a chronic disease in the near future through bench-to-bedside translational research and pharmaceutical partnerships.
