Research Interests:
I am studying how immunotherapy such as treatment with PDL-1 and CTLA4 affects the immune profile of tumors in mice. We are interested in looking at the differences between responsive and unresponsive tumors. I am also working on the role of how ER stress and glucose deprivation modulate Stat3 activation.
