Elliott Assistant Professor of Biology Dr. Kristian M. Hargadon’s recent article entitled “Tumor-Altered Dendritic Cell Function: Implications for Anti-Tumor Immunity,” which was published in the summer of 2013 in the journal Frontiers in Immunology, has recently been featured in the Global Medical Discovery Series.  Global Medical Discovery is an online platform founded in 2002 that is designed “to highlight breaking news about the latest scientific discoveries” and “to promote the status of talented scientists and industry experts in the international academic and pharmaceutical industry scene.”  Dr. Hargadon’s article focuses on recent advances in tumor immunology that have increased our understanding of anti-tumor immune dysfunction, and it emphasizes immunotherapeutic strategies that have been designed to overcome this dysfunction while also highlighting questions that remain to be addressed in this field to further optimize anti-tumor immune responses and improve cancer treatment.
