Shouxiong Huang , PhD

I use multidisciplinary immunology and chemical biology approaches to
study natural products for T cell activation in diseases and immune dysregulation in environmental exposure. Current research focuses on determining (i) the structures and functions of mycobacterial metabolites to activate mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells in human tuberculosis, and (ii) the impact of air pollutants on T cell immunity and lipid metabolism to exacerbate infections and inflammations.
