Zachary Conrad Hartman is an Associate Professor of Surgery at Duke Cancer Institute. His research focuses on the intersection of immunity and inflammation in the context of established cancers. His interests specifically center on understanding the genesis and maintenance of inflammation in specific cancer types, principally breast and ovarian cancers. He explores the impact of inflammation on tumor metastasis and the tumor microenvironment. His lab is dedicated to developing strategies to modulate the immune response against tumors, including the use of novel immunotherapeutic strategies and the development of vaccines targeting specific oncogenic drivers. Dr. Hartman seeks to uncover methods to modulate tumor-derived inflammation to enhance tumor-specific immunity and translate these approaches into clinically efficacious therapies for patients suffering from cancer.
