Priya Sharma is an immunology researcher dedicated to understanding immune regulation, inflammation, and cellular responses in health and disease, with a specialized focus on reprogramming the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Her work integrates molecular and cellular approaches—specifically the characterization of novel therapeutic antibodies against cancer as well as targeting immunosuppressive myeloid cells—to dismantle therapy resistance, discover biomarkers, and identify next-generation therapeutic targets, emphasizing the translation of these mechanisms into meaningful clinical applications.
