RESEARCH SUMMARY

Dr. Fabian is an immunologist whose research interests involve cancer vaccines and the development of innovative combination therapies for the treatment of cancer. Her focus is on the strategic combination of multiple immuno-oncology agents that can engage, expand, enable, and evolve the immune response to provide therapeutic benefits in several tumor types. Her goal is to investigate novel immunotherapeutic approaches, such as cancer vaccines, immune checkpoint inhibitors, cell therapies, and immune-modulating agents to inform future clinical trials.
