Grant Activity:
Harnessing tissue-resident regulatory T cells to fight cancer
Purpose:
Specialised immune cells called regulatory T cells (Tregs) reside in almost all organs of the body where they play a central role in preventing autoimmunity and inflammation. Tregs, however, aggravate cancer by antagonising the activity of beneficial, cancer killing immune cells and limiting cancer immunotherapy. This proposal aims to discover mechanisms utilized by Tregs to populate distinct tissues and tumours. These mechanisms will be harnessed to target Tregs for the treatment of cancer.
