Is there a way to boost immunotherapy response?<\/a>

\nMolecular biologist Kevin Barry, PhD<\/a>, received a $270,000, two-year grant from the American Cancer Society to investigate new ways to boost immunotherapy responses against metastatic melanoma. Barry\u2019s research explores the ways that tumor microenvironment helps cancer cells evade the immune system. With this grant, Barry hopes to develop new therapies that repair the immune system\u2019s ability and response to cancer cells, which will ultimately improve patient responses and outcomes.
