I investigate the role of the PI3K isotype p110δ in the immune response against tumours. There is evidence that the loss of p110δ function is protective against tumours in mice; my work attempts to elucidate the mechanism behind this protection, and how p110δ inhibition may be exploited in cancer therapy.
