Elise Liew is a PhD candidate studying at University of Hong Kong, specialising in molecular biology and cancer immunology. Her research focuses on the transcriptional regulation of the human endogenous retrovirus K (HERV-K), particularly the ERVK-7 locus at chromosome 1q22, which can produce functional viral proteins linked to lung adenocarcinoma progression. She aims to explore the relationship between ERVK-7 expression and immune responses, especially its role in enhancing immunity in lung cancer. Her work seeks to uncover the regulatory dynamics and immunological relevance of ERVK-7 in lung cancer, providing insights that may inform future diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.
