Biography

The Hur Laboratory investigates how the immune system distinguishes self from non-self. Utilizing an integrated approach that combines structural biology, biochemistry, cell biology, and genomics, the lab aims to uncover how the innate immune system recognizes and responds to non-self RNAs while avoiding self-RNAs. In parallel, they study the transcriptional regulatory mechanisms that silence foreign genetic elements to promote immune tolerance. The laboratory is located at Boston Children’s Hospital and is associated with Harvard Medical School, receiving support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.
