The Carter and Sheffield Research Group develops new modalities to activate the immune system to destroy tumors. We use animal and cell models to develop treatments and translate findings to humans by initiating clinical trials. We are a fully translational research lab that focuses on identifying new mechanisms of biology that can be targeted to treat disease and we extend our findings to humans. All students have the opportunity to be co-authors on scientific manuscripts, which we have published in high impact journals, including Nature, Cell and Science.
