A first-in-class antibody-drug conjugate works by targeting protein CD47, which helps immune cells activate and engulf cancer cells. The drug triggers an adaptive immune response to help eliminate the tumor. Learn more about the research, which Dr. Ben Schrank will present at

Thanks to @MDAnderson for highlighting our work on #immunotherapy and #cancer #vaccines, and #ASTRO2024 organizers for sponsoring my trip with an abstract award! I’m excited to present data from the IMMUNOCERV trial led by fantastic mentors Ann Klopp, Lauren E. Colbert, MD MSCR and Olsi Gjyshi!
