Research summary
AI-generated

Joseph Azar's research centers on how the immune system interacts with tumors, particularly in pancreatic cancer, with additional work on immune-based therapies (like IL-15-based drugs), stem cell models, and disease modeling using lab-grown tissue structures called organoids. His work spans laboratory studies of tumor tissue, early-phase clinical trials, and broader reviews on cancer care and healthcare systems. This research aims to better understand why tumors respond differently to treatment across patients and to identify markers that could guide diagnosis and therapy.
