<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Source Sans Pro",sans-serif;color:#333333">The Rashidian lab’s research interests lie in understanding how the immune system responds to cancer and cancer treatment, the
possibility to reshape the tumor microenvironment to a more anti-tumor status, and to develop the requisite tools to make this possible. In the long term, our goal is to help better understand why some patients respond to therapy and why some don’t, to help
understand what results in an immunosuppressive or an anti-tumor tumor microenvironment, and to develop more effective therapies and new prognostic modalities for early assessment of the response to treatment. In this effort, the lab bridges knowledge of chemistry
and cancer immunology, a unique combination.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
