Welcome to BurrLab!
In the Burr laboratory, we employ genome scale CRISPR genetic screening approaches, together with genomic and proteomic technologies, to uncover novel therapeutic targets to enhance immune recognition of cancer cells. We aim to both establish new approaches to enhance the efficacy of existing immunotherapies and develop new immune-based therapies to treat solid and haematological malignancies.
