Researcher
Immanuel Kwok is a Group Leader at the A*STAR Singapore Immunology Network (A*STAR SIgN). He received his PhD degree in immunology from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, where he studied neutrophil heterogeneity and function using mouse models, high-dimensional cytometry and sequencing approaches.
As a postdoctoral fellow, Kwok discovered two discrete neutrophil progenitors in both mouse and human systems through single-cell sequencing and bioinformatic analyses. He also demonstrated that neutrophils adapt specific signatures within tissues, allowing them to perform unique roles. Kwok current research focuses on developing novel therapeutic strategies that modulate immune cells in human cancers and fibrotic skin diseases.
