Matthew Spitzer, PhD
Associate Professor
Otolaryngology
Research Description:
The Spitzer Lab is working to develop our understanding of how the immune system coordinates its responses across the organism with an emphasis on tumor immunology. We combine methods in experimental immunology and cancer biology with computation to understand the modes in which the immune system can respond to tumors and to rationally initiate curative immune responses against cancer.
Primary Thematic Area:
Immunology
Secondary Thematic Area:
Cancer Biology & Cell Signaling
Research Summary:
Systems approaches to understand immune responses, particularly to cancer
