The spatial methods that expose how tumors evade the immune system
In this interview with Brian Brown (left), molecular biologist and immunologist at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (NY, USA) and director of the Genomics Institute, he tells us about how he uses spatial methods to research the genes responsible for cancers’ evasion of the immune system and how this informs the development of immunotherapies that can be used to treat cancer.
