van den Brink Lab Research

Immuno-oncology is becoming a vital therapy for a variety of cancers. In our lab, we study novel strategies to improve immune therapies for cancer patients with a special emphasis on the role of the intestinal microbiome in (patho)physiology and therapy, Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T cell therapy, and regeneration of thymic function to improve T cell immunity.
