Harnessing Dendritic Cells to Power Cancer Immunity

The Carbone Lab investigates the master role of dendritic cells (DCs) in orchestrating immune responses, with a focus on their impact in cancer immunotherapy. By studying how DCs recruit and activate other immune cells within the tumor microenvironment, we aim to uncover novel mechanisms that can enhance anti-tumor immunity. Using innovative tools like the STAMP model for high-throughput, non-invasive monitoring of immune interactions, our research strives to develop more effective immunotherapies that harness the full potential of the immune system to fight cancer.
