Research direction:

·         The structural basis of the complex between virus proteins and host factors (RNA polymerase II, Transcription factors, et al), which transcriptionally regulate virus replication. (Such as HBV, HIV, et al)

·         Structural analysis to identify key interfaces, active sites and design high specific inhibitors or antibodies to prevent or cure certain diseases.
