Appointment Information
The James P. Allison Institute at MD Anderson Cancer Center advances exceptional discovery, translational and clinical research to integrate immunobiology across disciplines and unlock the full potential of science and medicine for human health.
We will lead the world in immunotherapy research by empowering interdisciplinary scientific excellence and accelerating discoveries into novel and synergetic therapies that enable cures.
Dr. Allison was awarded the 2018 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine jointly with Tasuku Honjo, M.D., Ph.D., for discoveries that launched the field of cancer immunotherapy. Allison's fundamental research provided new insights into T cell biology and led to his invention of ipilimumab. He is vice president of Immunobiology and chair of Immunology at MD Anderson, and he was named a regental professor by The University of Texas System Board of Regents. He holds the Olga Keith Wiess Distinguished University Chair for Cancer Research and also is executive director of MD Anderson's immunotherapy platform.
Dr. Sharma is a renowned physician scientist who is a pioneer of immune checkpoint therapy, leading some of the earliest clinical trials in the field. She is associate vice president of Immunobiology and professor of Genitourinary Medical Oncology with a dual appointment as professor of Immunology at MD Anderson. She holds the T.C. and Jeanette D. Hsu Endowed Chair in Cell Biology and is scientific director of MD Anderson's immunotherapy platform.
Housed in the TMC3 Collaborative Building at Helix Park, the Allison Institute is an anchor of MD Anderson’s growing south campus research environment. TMC3 is a destination for influential lectures, illumination conversations, game-changing collaborations and big ideas to stimulate progress across science and medicine. The Allison Institute also will include state-of-the-art laboratory space in new facilities now being constructed on MD Anderson’s south campus.
