"You can think about it as these cells being shape shifters… this is a process that's actually needed for physiologic functions and it's hijacked by cancer cells to spread to different parts of the body. We're hoping to use immunological approaches to eliminate them -- that is the dream, that's the vision, and we're taking little steps towards it."

In this episode of the Cornell Veterinary Podcast, Dr. Anushka Dongre, assistant professor in the Department of Biomedical Sciences joins show host Michelle Moyal, D.V.M.’ 07, to discuss her journey as an immunologist and cancer biologist, and her study of how certain changeable breast cancer cells can drive resistance to immunotherapy.
