Defects in T Cell Trafficking and Resistance to Cancer Immunotherapy

Emmanuel Donnadieu, Ph.D, is a researcher and team leader of the 'Dynamics of T cell Interactions' group at the Cochin Institute. His recent research include breakthroughs in newly developed methods for following the migration and activation patterns of lymphocytes and other immune cells within tumors.
