Research Interests

Dr Lau's research group focuses on immuno-oncology imaging and experimental medicine. Using state-of-the-art platforms for immune cell tracking, whole-body imaging, preclinical models, immuno-profiling and bioinformatics, the team investigates the biological mechanisms underlying anti-tumour immunity, treatment resistance and immune-related adverse events. The ultimate goal is to translate these findings into clinical practice for patient stratification, immunotherapy monitoring, and improved drug delivery. Additionally, this research supports early-phase drug discovery by facilitating the screening and target validation of novel immunotherapeutics. These approaches have broader implications for studying chronic inflammation, infection, autoimmune diseases, and aging-related disorders including cancer.
