Research

The Dream Team focuses on three areas of research that have the potential to impact all stages of colorectal cancer. The emphasis of the first two areas of research is on the potential of immunotherapy and targeted therapy to revolutionize the treatment of colorectal cancer, while the last area of study involves strategies to specifically target different colorectal cancer subtypes. In addition, the team seeks to determine the mechanisms of resistance to immunotherapies and targeted therapies, and devise new strategies to overcome the resistance.
