معرفی
Dr. Shunbin Ning is an Associate Professor in the Department of Medicine, specializing in viral oncogenesis and host immune interactions. He holds a PhD in Cell Biology from Wuhan University (2001) and completed postdoctoral training at the University of North Carolina (2002–2006). Prior to his current role, he was an Assistant Professor at the University of Miami, contributing to research at the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center.
His research focuses on the interplay between AIDS-related oncogenic viruses (EBV, HCV, HTLV1) and the host innate immune system, particularly mechanisms like Type I interferon response, DNA damage response (DDR), and autophagy. Recent work emphasizes viral contributions to cancers, immunosenescence, and immunotherapy targets.
Dr. Ning serves as Editor-in-Chief of The Open COVID Journal and editorial board member for journals like Annals of Clinical Virology and Trends in Immunotherapy. His scholarship addresses HIV-associated immune dysfunction, viral oncogenesis, and exosome-mediated signaling in chronic infections.
Key findings include the role of long non-coding RNAs (e.g., HOTAIRM1) in myeloid-derived suppressor cell (MDSC) expansion and the impact of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein fusion mechanisms. His work spans virology, immunology, and cancer biology, with translational implications for antiviral and immunotherapeutic strategies.
