    Using CRISPR engineering to develop more potent T cell therapies that are resistant to suppression in the tumor microenvironment
    Burroughs Wellcome Fund 1020881Sep 1, 2020 - Aug 31, 2025
    Role: Principle Investigator
    Description: The goal of this project is to 1) evaluate genes that regulate intrinsic fitness of T cell therapies 2) investigate genetic determinants of T cell responses to suppressive factors found in the tumor microenvironment, and 3) develop preclinical models that better predict optimal T cell therapeutic strategies for solid tumors.
    Targeting SOCS1 and RASA2 to Engineer More Potent Adoptive T Cell Therapies for Cancer Treatment.

    Altmetrics Details PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication.
