Engineering
cellular immunity

The Su Lab at UCLA develops technologies to engineer therapeutic cells directly in the body, making treatments more precise, affordable, and effective.

Our Mission

Translating bold ideas into therapies that improve human health.

The Su Lab develops next-generation immunotherapies by engineering the body’s own immune cells with unprecedented precision. Traditional cell and gene therapies require complex, expensive manufacturing outside the body, limiting who can benefit and which diseases can be treated. Our team is pioneering technologies that allow therapeutic cells to be engineered directly within the body, drastically reducing cost, improving safety, and expanding the reach of treatments for cancer, autoimmune disorders, and infectious diseases.
