McAllister Laboratory
Florencia McAllister, M.D.
Principal Investigator
The McAllister Laboratory studies the interplay between the immune system, microbes and tumors behavior. We are fundamentally interested in understanding how those interactions ultimately determine tumor initiation, progression, therapies responses and metastasis.

Research Focus
The McAllister Laboratory studies the interplay between the immune system, microbes and tumors behavior.
We use a variety of models depending on the question we are asking, including genetically engineered or orthotopic mouse models, bone marrow chimeric animals as well as in vitro interactive modeling systems. We follow the same approach with technologies and use flow cytometry, CyTOF, Immunoplex, single cell sequencing, as well as a variety of imaging methods. In parallel our laboratory maintains a human microbial biobank from healthy individuals, cancer patients as well as high-risk individuals, which allows to determine the translation relevance of our basic findings.
