Victor Lui, Ph.D.

Dr. Victor Lui obtained his Ph.D. from the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical campus where his graduate work in Dr. Elena Hsieh’s lab focused on T cell signaling defects that impact immune responses. Victor is using his fellowship to pursue his career goal to design engineered T cells with therapeutic potential to treat autoimmune diseases. “I am looking forward to the entrepreneurial opportunities of the fellowship,” said Dr. Lui. “The opportunities provided by this fellowship will certainly prepare me for my goal to have a leadership position in biotech.”  Dr. Lui will be mentored by Jane Buckner at the Benaroya Research Institute and David Rawlings of Seattle Children’s Research Institute.
