Buchan, Sarah - University of Southampton

个人简介

Dr Buchan completed her PhD at the University of Southampton in 2005 studying the optimization of vaccine design and delivery to maximize T-cell responses to cancer cells under Prof. F. K. Stevenson. The principles established by this research, and her subsequent work targeting the leukemia-associated antigen WT1, triggered the inception of several ongoing clinical trials in cancer patients, overseen by Prof C. Ottensmeier. In 2008 she moved to the group of Prof. Al-Shamkhani to study how members of the tumour necrosis factor superfamily modify the quality and quantity of T-cell activation. In 2009 she was awarded the Faculty Post-Doctoral Career Track Award enabling her to continue her research investigating the processes that regulate T-cell activity and function and how this information can be exploited for the eradication of cancer.

研究领域

Dr Buchan’s research interests revolve around the biology of T lymphocytes, a key cell type used by the immune system to combat infectious disesases and cancer. Her research seeks to understand how these cells can be activated to respond to tumour cells in vivo and how T-cell activity can be maintained in the face of suppressive mechanisms exploited by tumour cells.
