Natural Killer (NK) cell therapy is a rapidly growing field in cancer therapeutics. This project will help us identify the key differences between IL2, IL15 and IL21 in NK cells to optimize our ability to make these cells as therapeutics for patients and will also provide a broad foundation for us to understand the impact of these two cytokines on NK cell biology.
