Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Fariba Jousheghany's research focuses on cancer immunology and vaccine development, particularly in the context of breast cancer treatment. Her work investigates the immune responses elicited by novel cancer vaccines, such as the P10s-PADRE vaccine, when combined with neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with ER-positive breast cancer. Studies have examined both humoral and cellular immune responses, including the induction of cancer-specific T-cell responses and the identification of peripheral immune correlates of tumor response.

Her recent publications also explore the role of tumor-associated glycans and exosomes in macrophage interactions, suggesting potential targets for therapeutic intervention. Further research involves characterizing antibodies to specific tumor-associated antigens, like chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan 4 (CSPG4), and their reactivity. Jousheghany's work is supported by collaborations with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Behjatolah Monzavi‐Karbassi, Bernice Nounamo, Steven R. Post, and Eric R. Siegel. She has an h-index of 14 with 41 total publications and 691 total citations.
