Dr. Julia Qu is an Associate Professor of Microbiology and Immunology at the University of Southern California. Her research program investigates lung immunity, inflammation, and diseases including lung cancer through mouse and human co-clinical models.

The Qu Lab focuses on:

• Molecular mechanisms of lung disease progression
• Immune regulation in pulmonary environments
• NF-κB and STAT signaling pathways
• Innovative cancer therapies

Her recent publications explore novel nano-therapeutic approaches and cell-type specific signaling in lung cancer models. Research frequently appears in high-impact journals including Nature Communications and JCI Insight.
