Research Interest

Every age offers opportunities to reach unbelievable goals. We can't be the first to land on the moon anymore, but we can be the generation that develops therapies allowing cancer patients to life for years. Being in the tumor immunology field now, excites me, I can imagine, as much as knowing that we will for the first time put a man on the moon. Currently, I research immune checkpoint modulation in combination with targeted therapies in melanoma, a mix shown to  produce lasting responses. It helps me that the NKI/AVL is filled with the same passion that I have!
