Hantao Lou
Post-doctoral Fellow
I started my research career with Prof. Gavin Screaton and Dr. Juthathip Mongkolsapaya during my PhD on autoantibodies at Imperial College London. I then joined the Centre for Immunology and Vaccinology with Prof. Xiaoning Xu to study cross-reactive antibodies against coronavirus, and successfully isolated and characterised a group of anti-MERS and SARS-CoV monoclonal antibodies. In addition, Xiaoning and I have further optimised a novel monoclonal antibody cloning method with the yeast display system.
I am currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research, University of Oxford with Prof. Xin Lu where I am investigating anti-cancer antibodies from oesophageal cancer patients.
