Over the last years we have been interested in designing novel tumor vaccines that amplify the tumor immune response using conventional and exploratory cancer therapies. In particular we are focusing on evaluating the immunogenic properties of radiation therapies and determine how immunotherapeutic molecules can synergize with RT in boosting immune cells cell function. We are also interested in exploring therapeutic effect of ultrasound therapy in the treatment of solid tumor. Our recent work on use of Listeria-based vaccine therapy in combination of RT shows that this strategy is more effective than RT alone.
