Background

About Simon E.

I am an Assistant Professor in the department of Experimental Therapeutics with substantial expertise in immunology and cancer biology. The focal point of my research is the identification of novel cellular or molecular drivers and inhibitors of cancer immunotherapy treatment efficacy. My overarching goal is to both develop and evaluate highly selective immunotherapy approaches with an improved efficacy and safety profile and to rationally combine these therapies with existing treatment modalities. To achieve this, I strive to translate promising preclinical findings into meaningful therapies and further test their validity in clinical phase I and phase II trials by closely working with established collaborators and by building new clinical connections.
