Research Interests

With the paradoxical dual role that the immune microenvironment plays during cancer progression, it is essential to understand the specific mechanisms controlled by immune cell infiltrates during tumor development and the complex interaction networks between immune and tumor cells to improve mechanistic insight, enhance disease detection and improve therapeutic response. Our research focuses on strategies to understand interaction networks between tumor and immune cells.
