Bio
Dr. Judith Agudo is a Principal Investigator at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and an Assistant Professor of Immunology at Harvard Medical School. Her lab aims to uncover the mechanisms of immune evasion in tissue stem cells and cancer stem cells, so as to inform both regenerative therapies for autoimmune diseases and cancer immunotherapies. Leveraging technology she established to interrogate T-cell interactions with virtually any cell population, her lab is investigating potential therapeutic targets that could protect transplanted tissues from immune surveillance, as well as ways to modulate tumor immunogenicity to ensure cancer patients respond effectively to immunotherapy. Dr. Agudo obtained her PhD in Regenerative Medicine, Gene Therapy and Metabolism at the Autonomous University of Barcelona, Spain, and completed her postdoctoral training in Immunology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.
