Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Fariba Jousheghany's research focuses on understanding the immune system's role in cancer, particularly breast cancer. Her work investigates how specific antibodies and immune cells interact with tumor-associated antigens and the tumor microenvironment. Recent publications explore the efficacy of a vaccine (P10s-PADRE) in combination with chemotherapy for breast cancer patients, assessing the resulting humoral and cellular immune responses. Jousheghany also studies the function of scavenger receptors, such as scavenger receptor class A, in promoting tumor progression and influencing macrophage phenotypes in breast cancer models. Her research extends to characterizing peripheral immune correlates of tumor response and understanding tumor exosome-macrophage interactions, emphasizing the role of tumor-associated glycans. Jousheghany has a publication record of 43 papers with 699 citations and an h-index of 14.
