T cells don’t act alone. The immune system’s response to cancer depends on multicellular “hubs” — 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 don’t.
Her award-winning study shows how tools like spatial profiling, CRISPR and organoids could help decode and rewire these hubs for more effective treatment.
