Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, Natural Killer (NK) cell biology, dendritic cell (DC) development and antigen presentation, myeloid-driven immune regulation including MDSCs and macrophage heterogeneity, innate lymphoid cells, innate sensing of stress and metabolic cues, interactions between innate immune cells and the tumor or stromal microenvironment, and innovative microbial, metabolic, engineering, multi- omic , or spatial approaches that reveal new mechanisms of innate tumor immunity. Faculty members have access to state-of-the-art shared resources and core laboratories for immunology, cancer biology, and translational science, including advanced multi-spectral flow cytometry, single-cell and spatial profiling technologies, imaging facilities, and Emory’s Integrated Core Facilities ( https://med.emory.edu/research/core_labs/index.html
