The Experimental Transplantation and Immunotherapy Branch is dedicated to coordinated efforts in basic, preclinical and clinical investigations in the areas of immunotherapy, immune reconstitution, T cell biology, hematopoiesis, and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The goal is to generate information from basic and preclinical investigations to develop new, curative hematopoietic stem cell transplant-based therapies for cancer. Information from new treatment protocols (including novel endpoints generated in the course of basic/preclinical research) is used to generate new questions and studies in the basic and preclinical research efforts. The branch emphasizes excellence in these endeavors and acts to maximize strengths present in the community at large by vigorous intramural and extramural interactions and collaborations.
