Kady Dennis
Lab: Sherbenou
Research: My research aims to study mechanisms of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy resistance in multiple myeloma. Specifically, I am interested in identifying a novel mechanism of BCMA antigenic escape and determining how prior anti-myeloma therapies impact CAR T cell function.
