Dr. Nelson Lamarche

Biography

Nelson LaMarche is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pathology and the Cancer Biology Institute at Yale School of Medicine. He earned his Ph.D. in Immunology from Harvard University in 2020 after completing his undergraduate studies in Biological Sciences at Cornell University in 2014. His research journey includes a postdoctoral fellowship at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, where he worked under Dr. Miriam Merad. LaMarche's research primarily focuses on the role of myeloid cells in cancer immunotherapy, exploring how these cells can be manipulated to enhance anti-tumor immune responses. His work has led to significant findings, such as the role of interleukin-4 in driving tumor-promoting myeloid cell development in lung cancer. Currently, his research aims to develop innovative myeloid-targeted immunotherapies that consider the complex interactions between tumors and distant organs, providing insights into the systemic nature of cancer and its effects on normal physiology. He integrates his interests in metabolism, tissue immunology, and hematopoiesis, contributing to the understanding of immune system dynamics in cancer progression and therapy.
