Jack Hedberg's research centers on using engineered oncolytic viruses (viruses modified to selectively infect and kill tumor cells) to treat brain tumors like glioma and medulloblastoma, with a focus on how these viruses reshape the immune system within tumors. Recent work combines virus engineering (e.g., adding immune-signaling genes like IL-12 and IL-27) with single-cell and multiomic profiling to understand immune cell responses and identify new therapeutic targets. Earlier work also examined genetic causes of immune dysfunction linked to telomere maintenance.

Publication output was low and sporadic from 2017–2023 (about one paper per year) but increased sharply in 2024–2025, suggesting a recent period of growing research activity.
