The Mahata laboratory investigates the mechanism of immune cell-mediated steroidogenesis (a process by which immune cells synthesise and secrete steroid hormones to regulate their function). The laboratory aims to uncover the role of steroid-producing immunocytes in regulating cancer inflammation and immunity, and exploit that knowledge for developing immunotherapy. Learn more
