Scientific Interests
Dr. Manish Butte's lab studies the impact of mechanical forces on T-cells. They hypothesize that mechanosensing pathways in T-cells become active in stiff tumors and inhibit the ability of T-cells to enter and kill. Butte's lab has been studying the activity of engineered T-cells in tumors in mice using 2-photon intravital microscopy. They perturb the mechanical environment of tumors using therapeutic agents and modify T-cell mechanosensing pathways.
