Current research
Current projects include:
- Study how platelets bind to T and NK cells and negatively impact on the function of the cells
- Linking oncogenes expressed by cancer cells with immune suppression of T cells in the tumor microenvironment
- Characterization of mechanisms by which cancer cells inhibit functionality of alpha-beta and gamma-delta T cells
- Study how exercise may impact on cells of the immune system, in turn improving anti-cancer immune responses
Fields of interest
- Cancer immunology and immunotherapy
- Immunological effects of exercise
