Our lab is broadly interested in identifying and perturbing the cell-cell interactions that lead to tissue organization, with a focus on tumor spatial heterogeneity and its role in immunotherapy response. The lab’s ultimate vision is to identify critical roadblocks to immunotherapy efficacy in solid tumors by examining how the spatial architecture of the tumor changes in response to immunotherapies. Much of my group is focused on technology development aimed at imaging tissue features and cellular functions that remain difficult to image in vivo, focusing on crosstalk between non-immune tumor stroma and the immune compartment. We then integrate this imaging data with cutting-edge spatial transcriptomics and proteomics to identify how tumor heterogeneity arises from cell-cell interactions and how this impacts the propagation of immunotherapy’s effects.
