The future work in Zhu lab will focus on the interaction between animal macrophages and pathogens of critical 

infectious diseases in livestock and poultry, identifying the phenotype and function of animal macrophages, 

revealing molecular mechanisms regulating phenotype transition and metabolismof macrophages following 

viruses infection, which will provide potential therapeutic target and new ideas for the development of novel 

vaccines and drugs for  animal infectious diseases.

聚焦畜禽重要疫病病原与巨噬细胞的相互作用研究，深入揭示病原致病与免疫机制，发掘药物靶标，为畜禽重要疫病疫苗和药物研发提供新思路。
