 mune microenvironment to combat cancer"</h2><p>The tumour immune microenvir
 onment (TIME) strongly influences disease progression\, from primary tumour
  growth to establishment of metastatic lesions. As clinical applications fo
 r immunotherapy are on the rise\, understanding how to harness the immune s
 ystem to combat cancer at different stages of disease is gaining significan
 t attention in research. Many of these research efforts have been focused o
 n the adaptive immune system\, yet there is untapped translational value in
  leveraging innate effector functions within the myeloid compartment\, whic
 h is highly abundant within tumours. The Quail lab studies the regulatory m
 echanisms of myeloid maturation and recruitment into tumours\, and tests th
 e hypothesis that targeting specific myeloid states in cancer can be effect
 ive against disease progression. By utilizing highly multiplex immune profi
 ling technologies\, we are able to gain insight into the vast heterogeneity
  of myeloid identities within tissues\, with the goal of unveiling new stra
 tegies to target myeloid populations and enhance immunotherapy responses.</
