About Our lab
The Joshi lab focuses on understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms that regulate the recruitment and activation of immunosuppressive myeloid cells in solid tumors. These innate immune cells secrete several cytokines to promote immunosuppression and to dampen anti-tumor immune responses in solid tumors. Our lab uses genetic mouse models and human patient samples to study the functional role of these innate immune cells in modulating the tumor microenvironment.
