Help us continue the research to identify new ways to detect and eradicate cancer using your body’s own immune cells.

Our research runs purely on funding from outside sources. Your contribution, no matter what amount, will be used to support the reagents and personnel performing the research.


Our research

Our research identifies what makes cancer cells abnormal and attempts to thwart these pathways for cancer eradication. We utilize cells of the immune system, including T cells, macrophages, natural killer cells, and B cells to help fight cancer. We study cancer from multiple angles, examining the cancer cells themselves for weaknesses, characterizing useful immune cells to boost their strength, and understanding how immune cells develop from bone marrow stem cells to increase immune cell numbers.


Our overall focus on immunology extends beyond cancer. Other projects in the lab investigate the role of immunity in wound healing, how microplastics affects immune cell activity, and how stem cells behave.
