Stephen J. Forman has been at the forefront of cancer research for more than 40 years, and a main focus of his work at City of Hope is developing immune-based therapies to treat cancer. Working with PICI, Forman and his team seek ways to extend CAR-T therapies to different types of cancers and solid tumors. Much of the research focuses on modifying the cancer’s environment to make it more hospitable and receptive to T-cell therapy, specifically in solid tumors. Stephen J.
