Cancer Immunology Program

The DF/HCC Cancer Immunology Program generates new insights into the mechanisms that regulate the anti-tumor immune response and translates this information into efficacious immunotherapies for cancer patients. The central hypothesis is that a deeper understanding of the requirements for effective innate and adaptive host responses will advance the development of treatment strategies that overcome tumor immune escape. Thematically, the Program is broadly divided into investigative efforts in strategies that enhance anti-tumor immune responses, including cancer vaccines, as well as bone marrow transplantation/adoptive cellular therapies.

The Program has supported the development and performance of multiple investigator-initiated clinical trials, which include immunoregulatory antibodies, adoptive therapy with tumor-specific CD8+ cytotoxic T cells, adoptive therapy with NKT cells, adoptive therapy with Epstein-Barr virus specific CD8+ T cells, dendritic cell-tumor cell fusion vaccines, genetically modified tumor cell vaccines, and combination therapies. Currently, the Program has more than 90 members.
