RESEARCH SUMMARY

Dr. Sui's research focuses on the development of mucosal HIV and SARS-CoV-2 vaccine using non-human primate and rodent models. She is interested in identifying innate and adaptive immune correlates of protection against HIV and SARS-CoV-2 infections, as well as exploring trained innate immunity mediated by myeloid cells.  
 

Areas of Expertise

1) immunology  2) virology  3) myeloid-derived suppressor cells  4) innate immunity  5) adaptive immunity 6) trained innate immunity
