Research summary
AI-generated

This research group studies immune cells, particularly natural killer (NK) cells and T cells engineered for cancer therapy (such as CAR-T cells), focusing on how these cells can be trained or modified to better recognize and kill tumor cells, including melanoma and leukemia. Work includes both laboratory experiments and studies related to clinical treatments like stem cell transplants and cell-based immunotherapies.
