• The main focus of her group is to investigate the key factors impacting the immunogenicity of radiotherapy in brain malignancies. More specifically, the Vanpouille-Box lab aims at exploring the immune-metabolic role of radiation therapy and to define the impact of TGF-beta and activin A in the radiation response of glioblastomas. With a better understanding of the metabolic changes, molecular pathways and cellular responses from the host and/or the tumor that result from radiation therapy, our main goal is to identify new actionable targets for the modulation of anti-tumor immune responses against glioblastomas.
