About

Our lab focuses on developing new and exciting approaches for enhancing the efficacy of cancer immunotherapies.

We utilize cutting-edge genomics, bioengineering, computational, and immunological techniques to identify molecular drivers of T cell differentiation and function in the tumor microenvironment. Our ultimate goal is to devise effective strategies for reprogramming or tailoring the activity of T cells in cancer.

Our group is also interested in understanding how to harness or manipulate T cell responses to improve vaccines and immunotherapies for acute and chronic infections. The Milner Lab is located at the UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center in Chapel Hill, NC.
