Lab of Immune Aging

Welcome to the Laboratory of Immune Aging at Korea University College of Medicine.

Our laboratory is interested in understanding how the aging immune system influences T cell and B cell immunity in response to infections and vaccination. Primary research goals are to identify the molecular basis of those age-associated alterations in protective immunity and thereby find ways to rejuvenate the aging immune system to improve human health and healthy aging.

The major research goals we are investigating are :

   (1) to define immunological hallmarks of the aging immune system and age-associated diseases

   (2) to identify the molecular mechanisms of age-associated alterations of T cell and B cell immunity in humans

   (3) to find therapeutic interventions targeting disregulated immune pathways to cure age-related immune disorders
