    Research

    Malignant metastases present one of the most challenging roadblocks to cancer treatment. In order to develop a treatment modality for metastatic tumors, my lab is focusing on strategies for immune modulated cancer gene therapies. This promising approach has shown up to 100-1000 times higher concentrations of cytokines in situ, attracted dendritic cells (DCs) and inflammatory cells to the tumor site, yet reduced the systemic toxicity mediated by the cytokines. Specifically, my laboratory is pursuing two major directions, immune enhancement and immune tolerance.
