Center for Multiparametric Imaging of Tumor Immune Microenvironments (C-MITIE)

pancreatic cancer at the cellular level

We develop imaging and data analysis methods to better understand what's preventing immunotherapies from effectively fighting solid tumors.

Ultimately, research from the Center for Multiparametric Imaging of Tumor Immune Microenvironments (C-MITIE) aims to guide the development of better cancer immunotherapies.

Approaches

Advanced optical imaging platforms

Nanofabrication and microfabrication

 

Genome engineering

Cancer immunology

 

Biophysical modeling

 

Advanced optical imaging

Advanced optical imaging is one of the pillars of the Cancer Bioengineering Initiative.

It allows us to see events inside the tumor — including how cells move, interact, and respond to therapies — and develop next-generation therapies to help cancer patients.
