Mansun Law is a Professor at The Scripps Research Institute, specializing in antiviral antibody and B cell responses. He graduated from the University of Hong Kong in 1995, and obtained his DPhil degree in 2001 from the University of Oxford, studying the roles of antibody and complement on poxvirus dissemination and pathogenesis. He continued his investigation on antiviral antibodies in the Burton lab in 2004 at TSRI and started his independent lab in 2008. He became a tenured professor in 2023.
Dr. Law’s research focuses primarily on understanding immune responses to viral infections, particularly chronic viral hepatitis B and C. His work has been instrumental in uncovering key mechanisms of HCV neutralization and the genetic biases in the generation of broadly neutralizing antiviral antibodies. His laboratory currently explores how B cell repertoires evolve during chronic infection and treatment.
