研究领域
Our immune system plays a vital role in both destroying and limiting the development and progression of cancer. Cutting edge research into ‘immunoregulation’ is allowing the development of an exciting new range of ‘immunotherapies’, which aid and enhance the ability of our immune system to specifically destroy cancers. Unfortunately, however, via a process termed ‘immunoediting, a number of these can evolve to escape both immune system destruction and regulation. Research into the factors and potential targets involved in immunoediting is an extremely active area of Cancer immunotherapeutics. Intriguingly, a number of systemic autoimmune diseases are linked to either increased or decreased incidence of specific cancers. The research focus of Dr Pryce’s laboratory is aiming to characterise the roles of autoimmune disease associated ‘autoantigens’, in both cancer immunosurveilance and immunoediting, with the aim of developing novel targets and agents for enhanced cancer immunotherapies.
