Dr. Nathan Reticker-Flynn is a Biomedical Engineer and tumor immunologist working at the interfaces of cancer metastasis, tumor evolution, adaptive immunity, and immuno-oncology. His work employs mouse models and systems biology and genetic engineering to investigate interactions between tumors and the immune system during cancer metastasis. He performed his PhD work in Biomedical Engineering with Dr. Sangeeta Bhatia at MIT where he studied glycobiology and ECM interactions during cancer metastasis and his postdoctoral studies with Dr.
Dr. Nathanael Gray's Laboratory develops first-in-class chemical probes that are used to gain new biological insights into cellular processes that drive cancer and other diseases, and to pharmacologically validate potential clinically relevant targets. They take an integrative approach that combines medicinal chemistry, structural biology, biochemistry and molecular and cell biology to develop new therapeutic strategies. Their work has contributed to several approved and clinical stage drugs targeting BCR-ABL, Sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor (S1PR), EGFR, EML4-ALK and CDK7.
