    Research Interest: These cancers express unique tumor-specific or -associated antigens to which my lab directs T cell immune responses via DNA, RNA, protein or peptide based vaccines.  Vaccine components are delivered in their native form, by dendritic cells, by recombinant Adeno Associated Virus.  This clinically translational research is backed up by pre-clinical and basic research in both normal and transgenic animal models and in laboratory studies on patient material. Results from the pre-clinical studies have led to a variety of clinical trials for which I am the immunological coordinator.

    Research Interest: My research interest involves finding innovative gene therapy solutions for human diseases. At Bellicum, Pharmaceuticals, I have played a leading role in the discovery and pre-clinical development of the CIDeCAR and Go-CART product portfolios. Prior to Bellicum, I was a trainee at Baylor College of Medicine where I developed a novel platform for delivery of erythropoietin to treat anemia associated with chronic kidney disease and evaluated the safety of the piggyBac gene delivery system for gene and cell the rapy. I have extensive research experience in immunotherapy of leukemias and solid tumors, adoptive transfer of T cells, T cell biology, tumor infiltrating lymphocytes, immune receptors biology, antigen processing and recognition, antibody therapy, tumor immunology, viral and non-viral vectors, and gene therapy of monogeneic disorders. I have comprehensive knowledge of molecular biology research techniques including genetic engineering, vector design, cloning, transfection platforms,

    cytometry, biomarker development and validation and synthetic DNA construction
