Chengcheng Jin is an Assistant Professor at the University of Pennsylvania's Perelman School of Medicine, specializing in Cancer Biology. His research focuses on the pathogenesis of cancer, highlighting the intrinsic genetic alterations in tumor cells and the failure of immune surveillance, as well as the unresolved role of inflammation. Specifically, his work investigates how commensal microbiota can shape tumor microenvironments and impact tumor-immune interactions, particularly in mucosal surfaces such as the lungs. His laboratory employs multi-omics approaches and advanced imaging techniques to address critical questions in cancer immunology and to define the cellular mechanisms by which the immune system interacts with tumor-intrinsic signals. Jin has established genetically engineered mouse models to study immune cell dynamics during early oncogenic transformations, seeking to elucidate how different immune cell types interact with tumors throughout cancer development. His current projects aim to enhance the understanding of the immune response to tumors, the impact of microbiota, and explore potential therapeutic strategies for cancer prevention and treatment.
