On Friday 25 October at 14:30, Kristian Wiborg Antonsen defends his PhD dissertation entitled "Targeted inhibition of phagocytosis checkpoints in tumor-associated macrophages".
The immune system plays an important role in cancer and represents a potential source of future treatments. One the constituents of the immune system, cells known as macrophages, are able to attack and kill cancer cells under the right conditions.
This PhD project has investigated which factors regulate the ability of macrophages to destroy cancer cells, and how these factors can be medically influenced. The results of the project suggest that new techniques can potentially be used to support macrophage killing of cancer cells, and are based on laboratory experiments performed at the Department of Clinical Biochemistry at Aarhus University Hospital.
The summary is written by the PhD student.
The defence is public and takes place in auditorium C114-101, entrance C, Aarhus University Hospital. Please see the press release for more information.
