Research summary
AI-generated

Marxa L. Figueiredo's research focuses on developing new therapies for cancer, especially prostate cancer and its spread to bone, using approaches like oncolytic viruses (viruses engineered to kill tumor cells), engineered immune cells (such as CAR-NK cells), and gene delivery methods. The lab also uses tools like single-cell RNA sequencing to study how tumors interact with the immune system, working across both human and veterinary (canine) cancer models.
