Our lab studies the mechanisms that regulate immunity in cancer and infectious diseases. We have a special interest in the orchestration of tissue immunity by dendritic cells and how it can be harnessed for therapy.
Previous work has identified how dendritic cells cooperate with natural killer cells and T cells within the tumor microenvironment and uncovered suppressive signaling pathways that regulate their activity, identifying new targets for cancer therapy.
