Generate a tailored SOP for Dr. Michael Khodadoust. Improve your application with a focused, well-structured draft.
Michael Khodadoust's research focuses on developing effective immunotherapies for the treatment of lymphoma. His work investigates the interactions between the immune system and lymphoma, particularly how immune systems recognize and eradicate lymphoma cells. A major aspect of his research is to understand the clues that the immune system uses to identify harmful lymphoma cells, especially in patients who develop lymphoma. He incorporates genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic analyses of individual patients combined with functional immune assays to develop new personalized treatment strategies. Additionally, he has a special interest in exploring the effects of immune-based therapies on T-cell lymphomas, a group of lymphomas that react to immunotherapies in unpredictable ways. Khodadoust is affiliated with Stanford's Multidisciplinary Cutaneous Lymphoma Research Group, which aims to identify previously elusive targets for cancer immunotherapy.
