Cancer Research Interest
- Disease Site Focus: No Specific Disease Site
- Research Focus Area: Treatment
- Type of Research: Translational
- Research Keywords: Immunotherapy, Radiation Therapy, DNA Damage Response, CAR T Cells
- Research Interest Statement: I work in the lab of Dr. Brian Koss to understand components of basic T cell biology to leverage them in CAR T cell therapeutic strategies. Specifically, I'm investigating the contribution to DNA damage to T cell exhaustion in solid tumor models and how this can be harnessed to engineer radiation-resistant CAR T cell therapies.
