Dr. Okada’s lab focuses on immunotherapy treatment of brain malignancies such as malignant glioma, for which several long-standing challenges make such treatments difficult. This research program will leverage the group’s knowledge on glioma antigens and cutting-edge cell-engineering technologies in preclinical studies, in order to overcome heterogenous expression of antigens and unique challenges in brain immunology. This approach has the potential to inform the development of safer and more effective immunotherapy strategies.
