Biography
Dr. Sofia Gameiro received her Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical Sciences from the State University of New York at Buffalo in 2008. She subsequently joined the NIH as a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Laboratory of Tumor Immunology and Biology, Center for Cancer Research, National Cancer Institute, and was appointed as a Staff Scientist in 2017. Dr. Gameiro’s current research focuses on identifying and exploiting mechanisms through which anticancer agents can reprogram the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment to allow for efficient immune-mediated elimination of cancer cells.
