Goal of the project
As tailored antibodies of several isotypes become more important in immunotherapy, it is crucial to understand how their corresponding Fc receptors (FcRs) are expressed in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Our project aims to develop protocols that can map the expression of all human FcRs in the TME using advanced spatial biology techniques.
Status update
We are currently collecting all available data on Fc receptor expression. This will give us a robust basis for investigating their presence in the TME of B-cell lymphoma patients using Imaging Mass Cytometry.

What you think of the Synergy grant mechanism?
The PRIMA synergy grant is a great chance for young researchers to try out their own ideas and explore new concepts that could lead to exciting new projects. It's also a fantastic way to meet other researchers in PRIMA and start collaborating on new ideas beyond just the grant itself.
I encourage other PRIMA members to think about applying for the next round of grants. It's a really rewarding experience!
