Prof. Ping-Chih Ho - Educating tutor-associate macrophages under metabolic stress


Abstract. Metabolic stress is believed to impede proper activation and differentiation of immune cells in the tumour microenvironment. Moreover, re-educating tumour-associated macrophages is believed to be a critical process to reprogram immune state in tumors and maximise host anti-tumor immunity. In my talk, I will cover our understandings on metabolic regulations in macrophage polarisation and education. Then, I will further discuss how we can achieve efficient re-education in tumour-associated macrophages by requiring their metabolic programs.
