David DeNardo, PhD

Primary Academic Title

Professor of Medicine, Division of Oncology, Section of Molecular Oncology, Washington University School of Medicine

Research Interest

Identifying the molecular mechanisms by which malignant cells derail anti-tumor immune responses to instead favor immune programs that facilitate tumor progression to metastasis. Understanding the immune microenvironment in which tumor cells reside will allow for the identification of pharmacological targets that can be exploited to destroy malignant disease.
