Our research is focused on activating the body’s own immune system to fight cancer. We work on discovering the ways in which cancers suppress the immune system, and on identifying the molecular mechanisms that tumors use to escape from immune attack.



Along with our collaborators, we have developed new drugs and clinical strategies to activate the immune response against tumors and enlist the patients’ own immune system to enhance the effectiveness of conventional chemotherapy drugs and radiation. Target diseases include adult and pediatric solid tumors and brain tumors. Dr. Munn’s research is funded by the National Institutes of Health and support from charitable foundation donors.

Our goal is to develop drugs that activate the body’s own immune system to enhance the effectiveness of standard chemotherapy and radiation treatments.
Results from our clinical trials are revealing that when the immune system is activated by the right kind of immunotherapy, then conventional chemotherapy and radiation can be used at modest, well-tolerated doses, and still achieve effectiveness better than either approach by itself.
The goal is to develop low-toxicity, well-tolerated outpatient regimens that do not require hospitalization, and provide patients with a good quality of life and return to activities such as school and work. Our clinical trials focus mainly on relapsed childhood brain tumors because the need for new treatments is so great in these children. But the same approaches can be applied to other childhood malignancies, and to adult tumors as well, so the potential impact is wide-ranging.
Our research focuses on tumor immunology and the molecular mechanisms of immune suppression and tolerance in the tumor microenvironment. The laboratory studies the regulation of anti-tumor T cell activation by tolerogenic dendritic cells and regulatory T cells (Tregs) in the setting of cancer.
Major focus areas in the laboratory include:
Basic-science studies of the indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) pathway in Tregs, including regulation of suppressor phenotype and reprogramming during inflammation. We also study how IDO-activated Tregs suppress immunogenic dendritic cells and support the development of small-molecule therapies.
Basic and pre-clinical studies of immune response to dying tumor cells after chemotherapy; and synergy between conventional chemotherapy and novel forms of immunotherapy targeting Tregs and DCs.
Design and immune-monitoring of Phase I and Phase II clinical trials of IDO-inhibitor drugs in combination with chemotherapy, radiation, BTK-inhibitor drugs and checkpoint inhibitors. These include first-in-children pediatric trials, in conjunction with the Pediatric Immunotherapy Service and Dr. Theodore Johnson.
