Support to Pr Ping-Chih Ho of the Department of oncology UNIL CHUV and Associate member of the Ludwig Lausanne Branch, to study the metabolic circuits guiding T cell differentiation in response to chronic antigen exposure.
The Helmut Horten Foundation (Lugano, Switzerland) has awarded a 3-year grant to Pr Ping-Chih Ho's laboratory project: Elucidating mitochondria-derived regulatory circuits guiding TIL responses.
This support will further reserarch into understanding the metabolic circuits guiding T cell differentiation in response to chronic antigen exposure. Pr Ho's lab aims to harness the information to develop novel cellular immunotherapies by tailoring T cell differentiation and functional maintenance processes.
