Personal profile
Professional Information
In recent years, I have dedicated my research to the fields of anti-tumor immunology and melanoma immunotherapy. My work specifically focuses on the role of CD8+ T lymphocytes in the anti-tumor response, the development of T-cell exhaustion, and tumor mitochondrial transfer as a mechanism of immune evasion
