Research summary
AI-generated

Wing Keung Chan's research focuses on immune cells that fight cancer, particularly natural killer (NK) cells and innate lymphoid cells (ILCs), and how they can be engineered or activated for therapies against blood cancers like leukemia and lymphoma, as well as solid tumors such as neuroblastoma. Work also covers genetic engineering methods (including CAR designs and iPSC-based approaches) used to build improved cell therapies. This research sits at the intersection of immunology, cancer biology, and cell engineering.
