Project title
"Charting the tumor antigen landscape of breast cancer"

Many immunotherapy strategies require patient T cells to recognize specific cancer-associated antigens. However, it is unclear what these antigens are and how they contribute to tumor shrinkage during treatment. Dr. Zhu [HHMI Fellow] will use large-scale antigen screening methods to identify cancer-associated antigens recognized by T cells that are activated in breast cancer patients during immunotherapy treatment. Mapping the antigen landscape of breast cancer will identify targetable antigens and improve future immunotherapies. Dr. Zhu received his PhD from The Rockefeller University and his BSc from the National University of Singapore.
