NIH Distinguished Investigator Dr. Giorgio Trinchieri has spent his career exploring the immune system and how it might be better leveraged to combat cancer. This year, he was elected to the National Academy of Sciences for his achievements in identifying the mechanisms regulating the activity of certain classes of immune cells and how the environment around a tumor interacts with the immune system to suppress an immune response to the disease.
