Arta Monjazeb, MD, PhD

  • Professor
  • Department of Radiation Oncology
  • School of Medicine
Research Interests: I run clinical trials and an R01 funded basic science lab investigating cancer immunology. I have three overlapping areas of research focus: 1) Mechanisms of resistance to cancer immunotherapy and how to overcome them. 2) Immune modulatory effects of radiotherapy. 3) Influence of obesity and aging on the immune system and how this influences cancer development, progression, and treatment response.

Sean Judge, MD, MS

  • Assistant Professor
  • Department of Surgery
  • School of Medicine
Research Interests: The Judge Laboratory at UC Davis investigates the immunobiology of metastasis from pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and other aggressive malignancies of the GI tract and develops next-generation cellular immunotherapies for these advanced solid malignancies. Our overarching goal is to define and overcome the biologic barriers that limit the efficacy of cellular immunotherapies in solid tumors, with a particular emphasis on PDAC liver metastases.
