Research Interests

After graduating from Loyola University in Maryland, I worked at two biopharmaceutical companies focused on discovering novel immunotherapies to combat cancer. Initially, my research focused on investigating the biology of the immunosuppressive Siglec-15-expressing myeloid cells in the tumor microenvironment. Recently, I have been working on developing a screening platform to assess the ability of various immune checkpoint bispecific antibodies to reverse T cell suppression in the tumor microenvironment. More generally, my research interests revolve around cancer immunology and cancer stem cells.
