What if treating cancer meant keeping up with a moving target? 🎯

Cancer immunotherapy has transformed treatment for some cancers, but tumors can evade immune recognition, reshape their surrounding environment, and evolve in response to treatment. Researchers across the Department of Medicine are tackling these challenges from multiple directions: from making cancer cells more visible to the immune system and studying the tumor microenvironment to engineering immune cells and investigating why resistance develops.

Together, this work reflects a growing shift toward understanding cancer as a dynamic system and using that knowledge to develop immunotherapies that are more precise, durable and responsive to the biology of each tumor.
