Postdoctoral Research Associate

Yeqi joined the Lin lab in 2021 as a postdoctoral associate. He received a Ph.D degree from the Nanjing Normal University. His previous work mainly focuses on the drug resistance in Aspergillus fumigatus. Now his project involves in how the cryptococcus promotes host protective immune response. He is exploring which antigens presented in the cryptococcal cells and how to use these antigens or filamentous strains as vaccine candidates. With these works, he hopes to unravel the molecular mechanisms of antigens providing the protective effect.
