Research Summary
Immunomodulation of the tumor microenvironment with radiation therapy; novel approaches to in situ cancer vaccination
Research Detail
In the Morris Lab, we are focused on using preclinical and translational research to study the mechanisms whereby radiation may impact the anti-tumor immune response. Our primary objective is to determine whether and how radiation may optimally be delivered, either alone or in combination with additional therapeutic modalities such as immunotherapies. We seek to test these approaches in early phase clinical studies where they may be further refined with the ultimate aim of improving survival and achieving cures in patients with metastatic cancers.
