His project is titled “Co-opting Tumor-associated Macrophages in Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer (ATC) To Enhance Immune Checkpoint Blockade Response.” It will use advanced microscopy approaches to understand how macrophage subsets influence drug response in ATC, with the goal of aiding strategies for combination therapy, antibody engineering, and patient selection. This grant is this year’s Ric Blake Memorial Thyroid Cancer Research Grant, named for ThyCa Co-Founder Ric Blake.
