Research summary

Athanasios Papadas studies how the supportive tissue (stroma) surrounding tumors, especially a large sugar-protein molecule called versican and its breakdown products, affects immune cells like dendritic cells and CD8+ T cells within the tumor microenvironment. This work has implications for understanding resistance to cancer immunotherapy and for improving treatments in cancers such as multiple myeloma and breast cancer. Much of the research combines mouse models, tissue analysis, and biomarker studies to link stromal remodeling with immune activation against tumors.
