Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering
Prof. Atukorale's research interests include developing new cancer vaccines, targeted immunotherapies, and methods to sample immunity in disease.
As an interdisciplinary group of immunoengineers, we develop nanomaterials tools to modulate, interrogate, and drive immunity in the context of complex diseases, such as cancer. Specifically, we focus on innate immunity in cancer and methods to leverage synergistic innate pathways for therapy.
