RESEARCH SUMMARY

Our goal is to discover novel chemical approaches and molecules that can address immunological problems in cancer therapy. Our research applies and advances chemical proteomics to develop new strategies to study and manipulate the human immune system. We use natural product screening and synthetic chemistry to develop chemical probes that specifically detect and perturb key regulators of biochemical and signaling pathways and functional enzymes involved in immune activation and tolerance.
