Biography

Nikhil Joshi's laboratory uses intricate tumor models and advanced approaches to investigate immune cell interactions in developing tumors. The goal is to determine the mechanistic interactions that lead to potent anti-tumor responses and to identify entry points for modulating interactions through genetic manipulation or therapeutic intervention. His studies focus on using established complex mouse models to investigate the subtypes of T cells and their functions within the tumor microenvironment, as well as the interactions between different immune cell types and their impacts on tumor development. The laboratory combines advanced genetic modeling techniques with immunologic techniques to address fundamental questions in tumor immunology.
