T cells donโt act alone. The immune systemโs response to cancer depends on multicellular โhubsโ โ coordinated networks of immune and non-immune cells. @PelkaLab (@GladstoneInst) has been awarded the 2025 @aaas Wachtel Award for uncovering these hubs, and revealing why some tumors respond to immunotherapy and others donโt.
Her award-winning study shows how tools like spatial profiling, CRISPR and organoids could help decode and rewire these hubs for more effective treatment.
