At the intersection of the DNA damage response and the immune system.

Our lab elucidates how defects in DNA repair influence anti-cancer immunity and, in turn, expand opportunities to personalize widely used cancer therapies such as radiotherapy. We pair computational analyses of human-tumor datasets with murine and cellular models to identify causal, clinically relevant biology. Our group is a diverse multidisciplinary team of computational biologists, wet-lab scientists, and clinical trialists working in unison toward this goal.
