As clinical applications for immunotherapy are on the rise\, understanding how to harness the immu ne system to combat cancer at different stages of disease is gaining signi ficant attention in research. Many of these research efforts have been foc used on the adaptive immune system\, yet there is untapped translational v alue in leveraging innate effector functions within the myeloid compartmen t\, which is highly abundant within tumours. The Quail lab studies the reg ulatory mechanisms of myeloid maturation and recruitment into tumours\, an d tests the hypothesis that targeting specific myeloid states in cancer ca n be effective against disease progression. By utilizing highly multiplex immune profiling technologies\, we are able to gain insight into the vast heterogeneity of myeloid identities within tissues\, with the goal of unve iling new strategies to target myeloid populations and enhance immunothera py responses.\n DTSTART:20230201T203000Z DTEND:20230201T213000Z LOCATION:Room 504\, McIntyre Medical Building\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3G 1Y 6\, 3655 promenade Sir William Osler SUMMARY:EToH Seminar Series: 'Harnessing the tumor immune microenvironment to combat disease progression' URL:/sbms/etoh-3 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
