发布人:学院    发布时间:2025-02-24     点击:

一、团队名称

免疫与炎症研究团队(PI:赵震环)

二、团队组成

团队教师3人(赵震环、陈鑫、陈思卓),其中教授1人,副教授1人,讲师1人。

三、团队介绍

研究方向:(1)T细胞自身免疫发生机制;(2)免疫干预分子的筛选与鉴定。

主要研究内容:专注于免疫与炎症研究,特别聚焦于T细胞在自身免疫疾病中的发病机制及功能探究。通过结合免疫学、结构生物学及多组学等手段在分子、细胞、疾病动物模型和患者样本多个层面,系统性揭示了T细胞对自身抗原识别和促进自身抗体形成中的致病机理。致力于通过发现新的生物学靶标,开发创新的靶向分子或抗体,以实现对自身免疫性疾病的有效干预和治疗等。已发表高水平研究论文20余篇,其中2篇影响因子超过20,研究成果受到国际学术界的高度关注,曾被风湿病学顶刊《Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases》专题评论,并被《Nature Reviews Immunology》,《Nature Reviews Rheumatology》等国际权威期刊引用。
