Jun Huang is an assistant professor of the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering, Committee on Cancer Biology, Committee on Immunology, and the Graduate Program in Biophysical Sciences of the University of Chicago. His lab performs basic and translational research with the objective of developing effective vaccines and cell immunotherapies for the treatment of cancer, infection, and autoimmunity. He carries out basic immunological research, focusing on molecular mechanisms of T cell recognition and signaling at the single-molecule level. He performs systems immunology, studying the development, differentiation, and metabolism of T cells at the single-cell level. He engineers CAR-T cells, aiming at the treatment of cancer and autoimmunity. He develops new biomaterials, enabling the detection, profiling, and manipulation of T cells and other immune cells for diagnosis and treatment.
