Appointment InformationWe are changing the way researchers come together in order to unleash individual brilliance in a collaborative environment. Moving away from the traditional system of departmental research, we bring our researchers together in dynamic teams focused on specific questions. As progress is made or new questions are revealed, teams will be reassembled to respond to the evolving scientific landscape.
We are taking advantage of our unique ability at MD Anderson to seamlessly integrate discovery science with translational drug development and innovative clinical research. Leveraging the incredible expertise and infrastructure of the nation's top cancer center, we will accelerate discoveries into effective therapies and combinations that enable cures.
We have established a diverse and inclusive environment with a culture of excellence and innovation. We are committed to train and nurture rising stars who will lead the next generation of immunotherapy pioneers, thus ensuring progress is maintained for decades to come.

We will empower our researchers to make scientific breakthroughs.
Elucidating the mechanisms that regulate various immune cell subsets
— such as NK cells, dendritic cells and myeloid cells — in order to
expand our knowledge on how these cells function and how they can be
targeted to improve anti-tumor immune responses.
Testing novel combination strategies in patients, with a focus on understanding how the immune system and tumor microenvironment respond and how these responses correlate with clinical outcomes.
Determining how cell-cell interactions can be interrogated via novel
imaging technology and bioinformatics algorithms, which will provide
details regarding receptor-ligand interactions and their role in
immune responses.
Discovering how specific mutations in cancer cells and the
environment in which they’re growing can dictate immune
responses.
Learning how specific genetic and epigenetic factors in immune cells
govern their function and how extrinsic factors — such as hormonal
signals, neuronal signals and microbiome signals — govern immune
responses.
Engineering new adoptive cell therapy approaches, including CAR T
cells and other immune cell subsets.
Exploring opportunities to leverage the immune system to intercept cancer at its earliest stages.
