Mijn onderzoek heeft tot doel nieuwe innoverende therapieën te ontwikkelen waarbij het immuunsysteem wordt aangezwengeld om kankercellen te herkennen en te doden.
Technologieën die worden of werden geïmplementeerd zijn: dendritische cel vaccinatie, mRNA vaccinatie, lentivirale technologie, gebruik van antilichaam fragmenten en hieraan gelinkt drug conjugaten.
