RESEARCH SUMMARY

Dr. Nguyen is a pediatric oncologist and physician-scientist specializing in the discovery and preclinical development of immunotherapies for children with solid tumors, such as neuroblastoma. The goal of her research is to translate new and effective immunotherapies from the bench to the bedside and understand the immunologic mechanisms that underlie tumor response and immune evasion.
