Understanding the Immunobiology of T Cells
Joshi Lab
Recently, in the last 10 or 15 years we’ve had a real appreciation of the idea that T cells are important in protecting us from cancer. Now we’re staring to develop drugs that which use these T cells and make them work better and then those T cells will go and destroy the tumor and patients will live longer.
