Biosketch

Xue-Feng Bai, MD, PhD is a Professor in the Experimental Pathology Branch. He earned his MD from the Third Medical University of PLA, Chongqqing China and his PhD at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden. He completed one year of postdoctoral training in the Division of Immunology, Department of Pathology at New York University Medical Center in New York City and two years of postdoctoral training in the Department of Pathology at The Ohio State University Medical Center. Dr. Bai’s research focuses on T cell responses in autoimmune diseases and cancer immunotherapy.
