- Natural killer (NK) cell expert Lewis L. Lanier, Ph.D., and Oscar A. Aguilar, Ph.D., a Cancer Research Institute (CRI) fellow in Dr. Lanier’s lab at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) explore how NK cells work and how we might apply them against cancer. #Immunotherapy #CancerResearch www.cancerresearch.org
NK cells are specialized immune cells that can recognize and destroy threats, including cancer. Due to their unique capabilities, they have great potential in cancer immunotherapy, with multiple NK cell-based approaches already being evaluated in clinical trials.
A member of the CRI Scientific Advisory Council and National Academy of Sciences, Dr. Lewis Lanier has made a number of important discoveries into NK cell biology, especially the receptors that activate and inhibit them. Currently, he serves as the Chair of the Department of Microbiology and Immunology, the American Cancer Society Professor of Microbiology, and the leader of the Cancer Immunology Program at the UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center. Since 1992, Lanier has sponsored seven CRI fellows studying NK cells.
Dr. Oscar Aguilar’s work focuses on understanding how NK cells bind antibodies and how this influences their activity and ability to respond to threats.
