    Collapse Overview
    The research in the Qu lab focuses on lung immunity, inflammation, and lung diseases, including lung cancer, the number one killer of cancer patients. Using mouse and human co-clinical models and state-of-the-art technologies, the Qu group is elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying lung diseases development, progression, and therapy resistance, for prognostic, preventive, and therapeutic purposes, and is developing innovative therapies for lung cancer, the most devastating cancer type.

    Altmetrics Details PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
