Dr. Che Alex Ma specializes in structural biology, exploring the important roles of membrane proteins and glycoproteins in infectious diseases and cancers.

Notably, his recent major achievements include:

1. Identifying the broad protective effects of the low-sugar spike protein vaccine against new coronavirus variants;
2. Discovering the ability of lectin in Lablab extract to neutralize various strains of influenza and coronaviruses;
3. Analyzing the peptidoglycan synthesis mechanism in bacterial cell walls, offering innovative insights for designing antibiotics targeting the bacterial cell divisome.

Dr. Ma’s research spans from basic science to application, with outcomes that not only deepen the understanding of biological mechanisms but also directly contribute to the development of vaccines and medicines.
