Immunobiology & Cancer Research Program

       What We Do

The Immunobiology and Cancer Research Program, led by Paul W. Kincade, Ph.D., is principally concerned with understanding the normal development and function of cells in the immune system. We hope this research will, in turn, help shed light on disease, as abnormalities in these processes result in leukemia, lymphomas and immunodeficiency diseases. Although astonishing progress has been made, we have much to learn if we are truly to conquer these conditions.
