Harnessing the innate immune response to treat small cell lung cancer

Description 
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an incredibly aggressive form of lung cancer with limited treatment options, begging the need for major therapeutic breakthroughs in order to increase poor (less than 7%) survival rates of patients. This project will take advantage of our state-of-the-art experimental model systems to provide robust preclinical evidence for the use of NK cell immunotherapy in the treatment of SCLC primary and metastatic disease
