Dr. Chen joined VIC in 2015 with a focus on mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) and MSC-derived intracellular vesicles/exosomes for therapy of various cancers. He is actively involved in the preclinical development of vaccines and immunotherapies for cancer by regrouping and redirecting immune responses in the tumor microenvironment to combat cancer.
Dr. Chen is also involved in infectious disease research, particularly in HIV/AIDS, leading an effort in investigation of immune responses by which some remarkable HIV-1-infected individuals are able to persistently control HIV-1 replication without medications (named elite controllers) that will help the design of therapeutic strategies against HIV-1 infection and defining the relevant immunogens for an effective AIDS vaccine.
