Research Overview
Kristi Baker investigates the relationship between the intestinal mucosal immune system and genomically unstable tumors for immunotherapy development. Her research focuses on understanding how the immune system recognizes and responds to cancer cells with genomic instability.
Research Focus
Mucosal Immunity
Investigation of how the intestinal immune system recognizes and responds to cancer cells, particularly those with genomic instability.
Genomic Instability
Study of how genomic instability in tumors affects immune recognition and the development of immune responses.
Immunotherapy Development
Development of novel immunotherapeutic approaches that leverage the relationship between genomic instability and immune recognition.
Tumor Microenvironment
Analysis of the tumor microenvironment and how immune cells interact with genomically unstable cancer cells.
