Personal profile

The Xiang Laboratory is dedicated to unraveling the mechanisms underlying host broad-spectrum antiviral strategy, with the ultimate goal of developing broad-spectrum antiviral drugs. Our research focuses on elucidating the role of interferon stimulated genes in innate immunity with broad implications for the treatment of viral infections (such as: HBV cell permissiveness and cccDNA formation) and related pathogenesis like liver disease. In addition, we also study on how embryonic stem cells resisting viral replication. Our recent discoveries have been published in leading journals such as J Hepatol (2016), Nat Commun(2025), STTT(2020), J Adv Res(2022), Stem Cell Rep.(2022), Antivir Res (2022).
