Dr. Jeff Miller's extraordinary success as a scientist and mentor has led to the creation of a consortium of laboratories, each run by an independent investigator, and each focused on some aspect of the very promising use of Natural Killer (NK) cells in the treatment of cancers and other chronic diseases. Our laboratory scientists do highly collaborative work in an effort to develop new and better immunologic therapies for blood-based and solid tumor malignancies.
