Research description
1) Immunotherapy of tumor dormancy. We are identifying dormancy-specific neoantigens in order to develop personalized cancer vaccines for the prevention of distant recurrence of breast cancer. 2) Immune modulation during diet-induced progression of fatty liver disease to hepatocellular carcinoma. Using an animal model of diet-induced fatty liver disease, we are investigating the role microbiome in the regulation of the liver's immune system in order to develop immunotherapeutics for the prevention of HCC.
