Flora Zhao (赵梦颖)
University of Hong Kong
Flora Zhao is a second-year PhD student in Pengtao Liu's lab at the School of Biomedical Sciences, University of Hong Kong. During her undergraduate studies, she double-majored in Chemistry and Biochemistry & Cell Biology, developing a strong interest in translational immunology. Flora's research focuses primarily on the generation of T-to-Natural Killer (ITNK) cells using human expanded potential stem cells (hEPSCs) for adoptive cell therapy in cancer treatment. ITNK cells possess both T- and NK-cell features, such as a broad killing spectrum, strong killing capacity, and robust proliferation, making them a promising novel source for cancer cell therapy. She is eager to acquire further cutting-edge knowledge in translational immunology and connect with people passionate about this field.
