RESEARCH SUMMARY

Dr. Maeng’s research focuses on harnessing the immune system to prevent and treat cancer. She believes that the essence of the NIH is "bench-to-bedside and back" exemplified by the vaccines that were invented by the researchers at the NIH and brought to clinical trials at the NIH Clinical Center. She leads the clinical trials team at the Vaccine Branch and is deeply involved in translating the preclinical findings into first-in-human clinical trials using cancer vaccines and other immune-modulatory agents.
