📚 Top Noted Publications
Dr. Hangming Dong has published several peer-reviewed articles in high-impact journals. Some of his key publications include:
-
Dong, H. (2025). Preclinical models of immune checkpoint inhibitors-related interstitial pneumonia for anti-PD1 tumor immunotherapy. Immunobiology, 230(2), 152884.
This study focuses on developing preclinical models to investigate interstitial pneumonia associated with immune checkpoint inhibitors, specifically anti-PD-1 therapies. The research employs organoid technology, conditioned co-culture, and humanized mouse models to simulate immune-related adverse events (irAEs). The findings suggest that combining immunotherapy with specific treatments can enhance antitumor activity while mitigating pulmonary toxicity.
-
Dong, H. (2024). Immune response mechanisms in lung diseases: A clinical approach. Respiratory Research.
This paper explores the mechanisms of immune responses in various lung diseases from a clinical perspective. It delves into the roles of both innate and adaptive immune systems in the pathogenesis of pulmonary conditions. The study highlights how immune system activation leads to the infiltration of T- and B-cells, inducing profibrotic factors and stimulating transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β), which plays a crucial role in immune regulation.
-
Dong, H. (2023). Checkpoint inhibitor-related pulmonary toxicity: Diagnosis and management. Journal of Pulmonary Medicine.
This article addresses the pulmonary toxicities associated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), particularly focusing on pneumonitis induced by anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapies. It reviews the incidence, median time to onset, clinical features, potential mechanisms, management strategies, and predictive biomarkers of checkpoint inhibitor pneumonitis (CIP) in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The study emphasizes the need for further characterization of the unique clinical and radiographic features to aid in the diagnosis and management of CIP.
Conclusion
Dr. Hangming Dong is a strong candidate for the Best Researcher Award, given his expertise in pulmonary medicine, impactful research in tumor immunotherapy, and institutional affiliation. However, to strengthen his nomination, he should provide more citation metrics, patents, industry projects, editorial roles, and international collaborations. If these areas are addressed, his chances of winning would significantly increase.
