In prior work, we have pursued how tumor reactive monoclonal antibody (mAb), together with activators of innate immune cells, like NK cells, can augment antibody dependent cell-mediated cytot...
We recently reported that HDAC6 is involved in the regulation of a number of immunosuppressive checkpoint proteins, including the Program Death Receptor Ligand 1 (PD-L1). This protein is one...
We developed two computational methods, CARE and TIDE, to predict response and resistance to targeted therapies and immunotherapies. CARE infers gene signatures of targeted therapy response b...
