معرفی
Peiwen Lu is an Associate Research Scientist at Yale School of Medicine's Immunobiology Department. Her work focuses on viral immunology, SARS-CoV-2 pathogenesis, and immune responses in infectious diseases. She collaborates extensively with researchers like Akiko Iwasaki and Albert Ko on projects involving vaccine development, long-COVID mechanisms, and viral resistance mutations.
Key research areas include the interplay between viruses and host immunity, particularly in neuroinvasion and mucosal immune responses. Her studies explore B cell biology, antibody dynamics, and tumor immune interactions. Lu has contributed to high-impact publications on SARS-CoV-2 variants, reinfection dynamics, and vaccine efficacy.
Her recent work addresses pressing issues such as remdesivir resistance in immunocompromised patients and the neurological impacts of mild respiratory COVID cases. She also investigates sex-based differences in immune responses to viral infections. Lu's research integrates clinical, immunological, and molecular approaches to improve diagnostic methods and therapeutic strategies.
