Anna’s Bio: Assistant Professor Anna Vilgelm is a cancer biologist with experience in basic and translational studies. The main focus of Assistant Professor Vilgelm's research is on pre-clinical development of effective strategies for metastatic cancer treatment. Currently, Vilgelm laboratory investigates ways to stimulate anti-tumour immunity and augment immunotherapy responses by inducing “hot”, immune-cell enriched, tumour microenvironment. In addition, Assistant Professor Vilgelm’s group is working with a variety of pre-clinical models including 3D organoid cultures of patient's tumour cells, patient-derived xenografts, immunocompetent and humanised models.
