Summary

The goals of my research program include: (1) define the cellular and molecular mechanisms of immune evasion during cancer development; (2) develop more effective cancer immunotherapy, with a focus on head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs) and B cell lymphomas; (3) elucidate the basic mechanisms of antibody gene diversification and B cell lymphomagenesis. We employ mouse models, human samples, and novel methodologies to elucidate mechanisms underlying the heterogeneous responses to immune checkpoint inhibitors in HNSCCs.
