Lawrence Fong Lab
Our program is dedicated to understanding the interaction between the immune system and cancer. Characterizing and quantifying the immune response to antigens in different disease states will be crucial to developing potential vaccine and immunotherapeutic strategies. Currently, our research program is divided into three distinct but interrelated areas of interest. These include studying dendritic cell biology, exploring approaches to break tolerance against self-antigens, and characterizing effector and memory T cells following tumor immunotherapy.

Foundation for Cardiac Research
The overall purpose of the Foundation for Cardiac Research is to foster and support research in the medical sciences relating to cardiology and cardiovascular problems. With a continuing relative reduction in federal funding for research, the need for research support from the Foundation becomes increasingly important. Particular emphasis will be placed on salary support for cardiology trainees in the area of clinically related research. The Foundation's Medical Board, consisting of three cardiologists who are staff members of the teaching hospitals of the University of California, San Francisco, will award research grants and select the individual or individuals to be supported in a given year depending on the amount of funding which is available.
