Welcome to the Breast Tumor Immunology Laboratory (BTIL)
Vision
To establish the Dana-Farber and Brigham and Women’s Cancer Center as the pre-eminent institution for breast tumor immunology by elucidating the mechanisms of immune regulation of breast cancer to optimize immunotherapeutic strategies to treat breast cancer thereby reducing recurrence, suffering and mortality.
Mission
- To enhance collaborative relationships and opportunities for basic and translational research investigating the immune regulation of breast cancer
- To perform in-depth analysis of animal models and patient samples to efficiently guide rational use and development of immunotherapy modalities for the treatment of breast cancer
- To increase breast cancer patients’ access to trials investigating novel immune-based therapies
