Shannon Oda, PhD
  • Academic Title: Assistant Professor, Pediatrics
  • Research Title: Principal Investigator
"My passion is to develop new cancer therapy options for patients by harnessing the power of the immune system to target and destroy cancer cells. Our research focuses on T cell immunotherapy, and we have identified several obstacles that inhibit immune cells from effectively eradicating tumors. We invent new ways to engineer T cells to overcome these obstacles and improve immunotherapy of blood cancers and solid tumors. We are excited to advance innovative, safer therapies, and improve outcomes for cancer patients."
