Koji Haratani, MD, PhD

I am a medical oncologist, and also completed a research fellowship in Japan. I have conducted prospective/retrospective clinical research, translational research using tumor tissue and blood samples from oncology clinics, and laboratory-based experimental research. I am happy here to be trained as physician-scientist. My current interest is to evaluate how multiple immune cell compartments are regulated to localize and function in the tumors. Also, my main project is to develop novel strategies to induce both innate and adaptive immunity against malignant cells by manipulating their own intrinsic mechanisms.​
