Research/Academic Interests
Dr. Anderson's research focuses on how tumor cells communicate with the cells that surround them in the tumor bed using extracellular vesicles called exosomes. He investigates how cancer cells modify the function of stromal and immune cells in the tumor bed to make them more supportive of tumor progression. This work ultimately aims to develop new immunotherapies for the treatment of head and neck cancer.
