“Targeting tissue-resident immune cells for enhanced immune protection”

Dr. Mackay is studying a recently described subset of immune cells called tissue resident memory T cells, which combat various viral infections and cancer.

The research that will be funded by the Prize will examine immune responses by tissue-resident memory T cells to harness their protective functions to improve vaccines and immunotherapies.
