The whole HKU-Pasteur Research Pole's team wish to congratulate Dr Horace Lee for having defended his thesis after he started to work with us as a PhD student in May 2014.
Supervised by Roberto Bruzzone, Horace worked on the major effectors of the host innate immunity in response to Influenza virus infection, the interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs). Focusing on one of these genes, Horace showed its essential role in the phagocytic function of macrophages.
