IVRI Faculty director publishes new potential target for immunotherapy – The activation of the adaptor protein STING depends on its interactions with the phospholipid PI4P
UC Berkeley Assistant Professor in Immunology Michel DuPage published in Cancer Immunology – Separating the Good from the Bad: Tumor-Infiltrating Tregs Have Increased Fucosylation
IVRI faculty director David Raulet and collaborators, reviewed in Nature Reviews Immunology, why Natural killer (NK) cells are emerging as important new additions to the cancer therapeutic arsenal.
David Raulet’s research addresses how the immune system recognizes and responds to cancer cells and virus-infected cells. Recognized with many awards for his scientific contributions, Raulet was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 2019 and is a Distinguished Fellow of the American Association of Immunologists.

IVRI faculty Dr. Vance and his team develop the first oral infection mouse model for Shigella infection that recapitulates human disease.
IVRI investigator Russell Vance and his team show, in a paper published in Nature Communications, evidence that ancestral interferon-independent functions of STING mediate antiviral responses in vivo
Congratulations to IVRI investigator Russell Vance on receiving the Cancer Research Institute’s (CRI) 2020 William B. Coley Award to acknowledge his work on the cGAS-STING pathway.
Dr. Winoto’s team new study, supported by IVRI and Aduro Biotech (grant #043572), demonstrates a novel approach that leads to effective T‐cell responses against tumors in mice with potential future applications in humans.
