The primary interest of Dr. Xiang’s laboratory is host-pathogen interactions, with poxviruses as the model systems. Poxviruses include some dangerous emerging or re-emerging pathogens as well as some promising vaccine vectors for infectious diseases and cancers.

The research approaches are distinctly multi-disciplinary, engaging the collaborations with cancer biologists, immunologists and structural biologists.
