Qing Deng Lab

Our lab is interested in the mechanisms regulating neutrophil migration and activation in tissue injury, infection, and cancer. The neutrophil is a hallmark of inflammation, and neutrophilic inflammation is the driving force behind a spectrum of human inflammatory diseases. Restraining neutrophilic inflammation will help alleviate diseases such as arthritis, cancer, and auto-inflammation. We are also interested in generating super neutrophils that fight infection and cancer. We are a group of happy scientists exploring the unknowns.


Current projects are to discover new regulators for neutrophil activations, signaling networks in neutrophils and injured tissue, and use iPSC to generate engineered neutrophils to fight various diseases.
