Research and Scholarly Interests
My lab investigates the role of myeloid immune cells in tumor growth and metastasis, and how these cells can be transformed into tumor-killing cells using bispecific antibodies. We also focus on developing bispecific T cell engagers targeting rare solid tumors. The goal is to develop novel immunotherapies for rare cancer patients with limited treatment options.
