Interested in investigating the principles that regulate the establishment of tumour environments that promote or inhibit the anti-tumour function of the immune system? Our group is currently recruiting a postdoctoral fellow.

I am excited to share our study showing how the immune system strikes a delicate balance between tolerating food and defending against helminth infections.

Identification of antigen-presenting cell–T cell interactions driving immune responses to food

The intestinal immune system must concomitantly tolerate food and commensals and protect against pathogens. Antigen-presenting cells (APCs) orchestrate these immune responses by presenting luminal ant...

Interesting work, it's becoming clear that @santiagozelenay.bsky.social's 2015 work on the COX-PGE axis' role in tumor immune evasion is robust (and also that we really need to focus on type I IFN in anti-tumor immunity).

But because, as many people like to complain, nothing in immunology is simple, Ifn gamma also has an important role to play

Antagonistic Inflammatory Phenotypes Dictate Tumor Fate and Response to Immune Checkpoint Blockade

Inflammation can fuel or suppress cancer. Bonavita et al. identify NK cells as primary orchestrators of T cell inflammation in murine models and devise an inflammatory signature that predicts patient survival and response to immunotherapy in multiple malignancies.

Are so-called 'M2-like' CD206+ macrophages immunosuppressive? On the contrary, we find that they are critical for T cell mediated anti-tumor immunity. Arja Ray drove this study with help from Ken Hu, Kelly Kersten, Alexis Combes and others
