Grant Activity:
Investigation of novel immune pathways for improving cancer immunotherapy
Purpose:
The epithelium of the gastrointestinal tract separates our body from the intestinal content. Its barrier function is crucially promoted by immune cells named intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) that sense cellular stress and recognise microbial agents. We show that IELs play a critical role in preventing bowel cancer progression. We will discover new genes and molecular pathways that promote the anti-cancer functions of IELs, leading to discovery of novel drug targets to treat bowel cancer.
