Our Research Environment
The Wucherpfennig Lab is part of a dynamic group of investigators in the Department of Cancer Immunology & Virology at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Our immunology community has a wide breadth of expertise in many areas of basic and translational immunology. We are highly interactive, share new developments at a weekly floor meeting and socialize at a Friday afternoon social hour. The department also a weekly seminar series in Cancer Immunology that is widely attended. Our state-of-the-art facilities allow investigation into novel immune mechanisms using cellular, molecular and systems-biology based approaches.
The laboratory is also part of several graduate programs at Harvard. The Program in Immunology brings together investigators from all Harvard-affiliated institutions. The program organizes one of the most widely attended seminar series at Harvard Medical School, the Wednesday seminar in immunology at which speakers report the latest breakthroughs in the field. The lab is also part of the Program for Biological and Biomedical Sciences (BSS) which serves as an umbrella program for biomedical research. The Leder Human Biology and Translational Medicine program of BBS emphasizes the investigation of human diseases and translation of basic science findings into the clinic.
