Research Description:
My research is focused on the treatment of triple-negative breast cancer using agents that enhance the anti-tumor immune response in the tumor microenviroment. To do this, I am focusing on developing a molecular therapeutic that is designed to deploy immunosuppressive signals coupled with breast cancer specific release of type-I interferon that will reverse anti-tumor immunity and lead to tumor reduction and elimination.
