Bio
Research Interests: We are interested in understanding how tumor cells adapt to therapy. We largely study drug tolerant persistence, which is thought to describe a state of transient insensitivity which provides a repository of surviving tumor cells which may develop resistance and drive progression. These cells are thought to co-opt the tumor microenvironment to survive, and one area of interest is investigating how drug tolerant persistent cells evade immunosurveillance.
