This NIH-funded project investigates the role of STING signaling in innate immunity, aiming to enhance immune responses against tumors and infections by understanding and manipulating STING pathways.
Description
Research project to elucidate how STING facilitates activation of phagocytes and cross-presentation of microbial or tumor antigens, and to explore strategies to reconstitute STING signaling in aged or transformed cells to enhance immunogenicity and immune response.
