Happy to share our latest review, written by Kevin Sek on the interplay between adenosine and adoptive cellular therapy, 2 topics of high interest to our lab. This issue of Current Opinion in Pharmacology has many great papers on adenosine in cancer. authors.elsevier.com/a/1bdSW5Ea-8H4…

Thinking about PhD or Honours? We’ll work with you to design a research project that fits your interests and the skills you want to learn within one of our themes. Join me for a chat at the open day

Ever wondered how a T cell decides to be anergic vs exhausted? We identify the anergy-associated transcription factor Egr2 as a key regulator of CD8+ T cell exhaustion, with some surprising results that may answer this question. Take home messages below(1/)nature.com/articles/s4146…

Very proud to share the latest work from the lab. This work describes a new methodology to enhance the activity of CAR T in solid tumours through CRISPR- mediated deletion of the adenosine A2AR nature.com/articles/s4146…
