UWMadison_Biochem_Xu

The Xu Lab is broadly interested in understanding the protein-protein interactions at the host-pathogen interface. We take a protein engineering approach, in combination with biochemistry, structural biology and immunology, to identify new classes of antibodies and design principles to manipulate immunogenicity. The long-term goal is to identify new targets and design principles for designing vaccines and therapeutics, especially against important infectious diseases with unmet human needs.
