Yang Pu
Associate Professor
Yang Pu is an Associate Professor at the Institute of Basic Medicine, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences & Peking Union Medical College. She obtained tumor immunology training in University of Chicago, supervised by Dr. Yangxin Fu during her Ph.D study. She has been involved in reporting that adaptive immunity is required for anti-tumor efficacy by various radiation, chemotherapies, and hormone-related therapies. Such conventional therapy can induce innate sensing that bridges to adaptive immunity that control tumor or limit local or distal relapse. Those studies help to better integrate conventional therapy with various immunotherapies. Her team is now interested in exploring novel mechanisms for cancer therapies bridging innate and adaptive immune responses and exploring the regulation of novel post-translation modification in tumor microenvironment.
