Primary Training Group:
Cancer Biology
Secondary Training Groups:
Biotechnology, Microbiology, Immunology and Infectious Diseases
Research Areas:
Cancer immunotherapy, natural killer cells, innate immunity, tumor microenvironment, cell therapy, immunoengineering, genetic engineering
Current Projects:
- Immunoengineering of natural killer cells for immunotherapy of solid tumors - Metabolic reprogramming of natural killer cells in the microenvironment of glioblastoma - Defining resistance mechanisms to immune surveillance in tumors - Genetic engineering of natural killer cells
Importance of Interdisciplinary Research:
Our lab is highly interdisciplinary - utilizing techniques in cancer biology, immunology, genetic engineering, cell therapy, bioengineering, and cell biology to answer questions relevant to tumor therapy and resistance to immune surveillance. As such, interdisciplinarity is integral to our lab and our research would not exist without cross-disciplinary crosstalk and collaboration.
