Primary Academic Title

Professor of Molecular Microbiology & Immunology, Saint Louis University School of Medicine

Research Interest

My area of research interest is tumor immunology. My lab is working to understand how mechanisms of T cell tolerance can be overcome to enhance immunity against cancer. We are dedicated to defining the molecular pathways the regulate tolerance as a means to develop new immunotherapies for patients.
