Research Interest
Dr. Jing Hong Wang’s lab studies the mechanisms of tumorigenesis using B-cell lymphoma and head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs) as models. We employ genetic and immunological approaches to better understand the interplay of cancer and immune system. Our B-cell lymphoma studies focus on elucidating why B-cells are so prone to develop lymphomas and how malignant B-cells evade immune surveillance. We are also interested in developing novel treatment for B cell lymphoma. Our HNSCC studies focus on elucidating the mechanisms of heterogeneous anti-tumor immune responses, in particular, why certain individuals can eradicate cancers while others succumb to cancer progression, and why different individuals respond differentially to anti-cancer therapy.
