Zhigang Liu, Ph.D.

Junior Scientist

Personal Statement

The focus of my career has been studying human diseases caused by infections or inappropriate immune responses of body. CTL developed pioneering methods that permit to monitor the function of lymphocytes in the human’s blood. I am excited to be one of the members in CTL’s R&D department that serves the worldwide immunology community by providing the tools which to assess immune responses of human body.
