NIH Distinguished Investigator
Head, Cancer Immunology Section

RESEARCH SUMMARY

Dr. Trinchieri has contributed to the identification of the interplay between inflammation/innate resistance and adaptive immunity, and of the role of cytokines and interferons in the regulation of hematopoiesis, innate resistance and immunity in infections and cancer.  His main focus now is the role of inflammation/innate resistance and commensal microbiota in carcinogenesis, cancer progression and therapy of cancer.

As Chief, Dr. Trinchieri oversees the operations of intramural laboratories that constitute the major immunologic component of the NCI inflammation and cancer initiative that seeks to partner NCI's expertise in inflammation and immunology with its cutting-edge etiology and carcinogenesis program. 

Areas of Expertise
