Research Interests for Patients
My laboratory studies the lung cancer tumor microenvironment, a diverse collection of cell types that can be found in and around lung tumors. We are focused on the immune cells within the tumor and how specific subtypes can contribute to treatment resistance. Ultimately, we hope to use our findings to improve therapy for patients with lung cancer.
