Research in this area takes place at the intersection of cancer biology and immunology. This work involves the study of how tumors evade the immune system, and how the immune system can be modulated to recognize and eradicate tumor cells. This type of research involves work with animal models that include intact immune systems, development of therapeutic compounds that modulate the immune system, and modification of immune cells to recognize tumor antigens.

The following faculty members conduct research in cancer immunology:
