In infectious diseases and cancers STING regulates type-I interferon signaling to modulate host immune response. My current projects are (1) studying the mechanism of STING degradation cooperated by E3 ligases and kinases in cancer cells and using corresponding inhibitors to enhance anticancer immune response; (2) understanding how members of E3 ubiquitin ligase anaphase-promoting complex\/cyclosome (APC\/C) regulate protein stability and agonist-induced activation of STING.

Proposing ideas, searching information, gathering useful knowledge and methods, restoring pieces of truths and writing the result and conclusion parts of the manuscript are self-motivated and thrilling. Any delightful discovery in the project stimulates the reward circuit in my brain letting me feel the pleasure of research work, which drives continuous learning and practicing. I am even happier to realize truths are far beyond expectation.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245417&quot;:true,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">What have been some of your best experiences with BCBP\u202f(UNC)?<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245417&quot;:true,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Current scientific research requires complexity and multi-discipline collaboration. Here, people learn from each other&#8217;s strengths and make up for their weaknesses through various means. Most of the people I meet are willing to share opinions and suggestions without reservation or impatience. It is their cooperation in experiments ensures strategic planning, efficient progression and professional production. I have had a pleasant collaboration with many research groups and core facilities.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245417&quot;:true,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Do you have any advice for current or future trainees at BCBP\u202f(UNC)?<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245417&quot;:true,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">The process of conducting scientific research is undoubtedly fraught with difficulties. While maintaining optimism and curiosity, we should exert our subjective initiative, communicate and collaborate with professionals, try various theoretically feasible approaches, and find the final solution through continuous trial and error. In the era of information explosion, we also need to update knowledge and accepting new theories all the time. Do not be limited by existing knowledge and experience.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245417&quot;:true,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">What are your favorite activities outside of the lab?<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245417&quot;:true,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">I like travelling and have been to many places of historic interest and scenic beauty in the US.
