Begonya Comin-Anduix is a Professor in the Department of Pharmacology at UCLA, specializing in cancer immunotherapy and theranostics, particularly in how the immune system interacts with radioligands used to treat various types of cancers. Her research focuses on the optimization and validation of immunological approaches to enhance T cell responses in conditions such as metastatic melanoma, renal cell carcinoma, and sarcoma. She has collaborated on the production of transgenic dendritic cells for renal cell carcinomas and optimizing the manufacturing processes for transgenic stem cells and T cells for adoptive cell transfer in sarcomas. A significant aspect of her work involves establishing quantitative assays to monitor activation status of cancer-specific T cells, NK cells, and dendritic cells, with the goal of understanding the tumor microenvironment and predicting treatment outcomes.
