Jason R. Cantor is an Assistant Professor and Investigator at the Morgridge Institute for Research, with a joint appointment in the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He specializes in understanding the effects of environmental factors on human cell biology, particularly in relation to cancer immunology. His research lab employs a multidisciplinary approach that integrates principles from biology and engineering to tackle fundamental challenges in the context of human blood cancers and the normal components of the immune system. The Cantor lab focuses on cancer metabolism, functional genomics, and chemical genetics, aiming to identify new targetable vulnerabilities in human cancers. By leveraging their findings, the group strives to propose innovative cancer treatment strategies, including the direct modulation of environmental factors to enhance the efficacy of immunotherapies. His educational credentials include a Bachelor of Science degree from Cornell University, a PhD from the University of Texas at Austin, and postdoctoral work at the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research/MIT.
