Professor Mak’s research is concentrated on gaining fundamental knowledge of the biology of cells in normal and disease settings in three key areas; biology of the immune system, biology of programmed cell death and the pathogenesis of cancer. The lab was the first to define the function of the immune checkpoint regulator CTLA-4.
