Thesis: (tba)
Description: We are investigating the role of cytotoxic T cells in the treatment of cancer. Tumors create an immunosuppressive, toleragenic microenvironment, and we are researching means of overcoming suppression of the T cell response and the development of T cell tolerance to "self" tumor antigens. Specifically, I will be looking at the role of lymphodepleting radiation treatment and it's effects on the tumor microenvironment and cytotoxic T cell response.
