Prof. YANG Guan (楊冠)

Dr. Guan Yang joined the City University of Hong Kong in July 2021 as an Assistant Professor in Immunology in the Department of Infectious Diseases and Public Health.

Our research program aims to investigate the complex interplay between the environment, immune, and metabolic systems within the framework of One Health. To achieve this goal, we employ in vivo mouse models and in vitro cell culture to examine the intricate interaction among metabolites, microorganisms, and immune function. Our ultimate objective is to identify innovative strategies that can lead to the discovery of therapeutic targets for human diseases. To accomplish this, we leverage a range of cutting-edge techniques, including immunological, bioinformatical, molecular, and microbiological approaches.
