Targeting of cytokine secreting lymphocyte (TCSL) group
Dr Jandus main scientific interest is in the study of T cell- and Innate Lymphoid Cell (ILC)- mediated immune responses to human tumors. She has adopted and developed cutting-edge technologies for high-throughput analyses of T cells, at the single cell level, allowing to focus on the quantitative and qualitative evaluation of natural and therapy-induced tumor-specific CD4 T cell responses. She aims to identify the most potent T cells and best-of-class T cell receptors (TCRs), enabling their rapid and cost-effective isolation and validation in clinical trials. In parallel, she is investigating the role of Innate lymphoid cell (ILC) subsets, a recently described family of innate immune effector cells, in the context of anti-tumor immunity. She has been pioneering in reporting the pro-tumoral role of the ILC2 subset in human tumors and she is currently developing strategies to target these cells therapeutically in patients.
