個人簡介

Prof. ZHOU Jingying (周京穎) obtained her Ph.D. degree in Microbiology from the AIDS Institute, Department of Microbiology, The University of Hong Kong (HKU) in 2013 and received the Awards for Outstanding Research Postgraduate Student (HKU).  She continued her research as a postdoctoral fellow in Prof. Alfred Cheng’s lab, School of Biomedical Sciences, The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) and became a Research Assistant Professor in 2018.  Prof. Zhou has published in international journals including Gut, Journal of Clinical Investigation, Cancer Research, Nature Communications, Nature Microbiology and served as co-inventor of two U.S. patents on DNA vaccines.  She has received academic awards including recognitions from the American Association of Immunologists (AAI), United European Gastroenterology (UEG) and AstraZeneca.  Prof. Zhou’s current research interests are innate and adaptive immune regulation in cancer, with particular focus on the mechanisms of tumor microenvironment in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and aiming at the enhancement of cancer immunotherapy.   

  1. Innate and adaptive immune regulation in cancer. 
  2. Transcriptional and epigenetic regulation of immune cells in cancer. 
  3. Tumor immunotherapy.
