Immunobiology
Immunotherapy is a highly promising approach to cancer treatment that boosts a person’s immune system to help find and attack cancer cells. However, immunotherapy’s success in treating cancer and inflammatory diseases is currently inconsistent. Scientists do not have a detailed understanding of how immune cells interact at a molecular level, or with other cells. Leveraging an interdisciplinary team with strengths in cell biology, biophysics, chemical biology and biomedical engineering, this cluster aims to develop next-generation techniques to monitor these immune cells in real time and develop effective pre-clinical models. Eventually, this knowledge could enable the cluster to predict the strengths and weaknesses of immunotherapy treatments, potentially revolutionizing how cancer and other diseases are treated.
