Broad-spectrum SARS-CoV-2 prophylactics designed based on viral evolution prediction
The Cao Lab at BIOPIC, Peking University, and Changping Laboratory investigates humoral immunity and antibodies at single-cell and molecular levels, including:
Antibody response, immune escape, and immune imprinting in infectious diseases, including SARS-CoV-2
Development of antibody therapeutics and vaccines
Deciphering the relationship between targeting epitopes and functions of antibodies for various antigens
Computational and machine learning methods for modeling antibody-antigen interaction
