RESEARCH INTERESTS:
Huang obtained a PhD degree in biomedical sciences from the National Chung-Hsing University in Taiwan. During his PhD he studied the mechanism and application of a synthetic TLR7 ligand imiquimod in skin cancers and psoriasis. He then went to China Medical University Hospital for a Assistant Research Fellow where he focused on the development of engineered immune cell and extracellular vesicle therapies, and translated to product development and further clinical trials
1. Engineered immune cell therapy
2. Engineered extracellular vesicles
3. Tumor immunology
