Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Randal S. Shelton's research focuses on understanding and manipulating the tumor microenvironment to enhance cancer therapies. His recent work investigates the synergistic effects of oncolytic viruses and immune checkpoint blockade in models of hepatocellular carcinoma and pancreatic cancer. Shelton also explores novel therapeutic targets for multiple myeloma, specifically the role of PHF19 inhibition.

Further investigations include the reprogramming of the pancreatic tumor microenvironment through alloantigen-expressing virotherapy to improve immunotherapy response and tumor rejection. His work also examines the modulation of immune cell infiltration by live attenuated vaccines in hepatocellular carcinoma models to enhance survival. Additionally, Shelton has studied the cellular mechanisms of kidney injury, specifically the role of Endonuclease G in cisplatin-induced damage.
