Developing novel single-cell technologies to model and perturb intra-tumor interactions and signaling – an innovation program for the next generation of immunotherapies

Single-cell genomic technologies have transformed many fields of research. We here seek to do just that in synthetic-immunology and immunotherapy. At present, our understanding of the complex crosstalk within the tumor microenvironment (TME) is still piecemeal, as is our ability to effectively engineer the immune system to attack tumor cells in spite of the robust immune-suppression signaling of the tumor. In line, current immunotherapies are effective only in a small subset of tumor types and patients, emphasizing the dire need to better understand immune-suppressive mechanisms within the TME and develop new immunotherapy strategies. What if we could develop technologies that reprogram the…
