Microenvironmental coordination in the control of human cancers

My lab is dedicated to discovering how the immune system controls cancer and how it can be harnessed for therapeutic purposes. Our work has helped identify how certain cancers are regulated by various immune cells, including cytotoxic T-cells, regulatory T-cells, macrophages, monocytes, neutrophils and dendritic cells, all of which are considered drug targets in cancer immunotherapy. Here I will talk about the coordination of microenvironmental (immune) components that control human cancers.
