Holt Lab
The main focus in our lab (located at the BC Cancer Research Institute) is understanding and potentiating the anti-cancer immune response.
Increasingly cancer is being seen as a disease of immune failure, and in the field considerable effort is being focused on evoking and/or potentiating anti-tumor immunity. In our group, we do basic research, pre-clinical research and clinical (Phase I/II) studies focussed on genetically enginerring T cells to target cancer cells. We also develop mRNA vaccines against "Oncomicrobes and we use high-throughput genomic, proteomic and bioinformatic methods to probe the cellular immune system, with a focus on antigen discovery. In addition to immunology, we also touch on aspects of microbiome research, brain research and evolutionary biology in our group
