Alix Seif Laboratory

Led by Alix E. Seif, MD, MPH, researchers in the Seif Laboratory are focused on manipulating the human innate and immune systems to treat children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The long-term goal of the research conducted in this laboratory is to identify innate and adaptive immune mechanisms that can be used to treat pediatric ALL more effectively, and with less toxicity, than existing therapies.
