T Cell Anergy & Tolerance
Suboptimal antigen stimulation induces transcriptional and metabolic programs that enforce T-cell unresponsiveness. We identify the molecular mechanisms that establish and maintain antigen-specific tolerance.
CAR-T Therapy for Solid Tumors
Solid tumors create an immunosuppressive microenvironment that limits CAR-T cell activity. We engineer CAR-T cells to improve trafficking, persistence, and anti-tumor function.
Breaking Tumor Tolerance
Tumors induce antigen-specific tolerance that limits T-cell activity. We engineer genetically modified T cells to overcome tolerance and enhance anti-tumor immunity.
