Graduate Student
University of Minnesota
I am Abhishek Kulkarni, a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Medicinal Chemistry in Dr. Carston Wagner's laboratory at the University of Minnesota. I work on the design and development of recombinant proteins, capable of redirecting immune cells (such as T and NK-cells) to target and destroy solid tumors. My work particularly focusses on redirecting T cells to combat triple negative breast cancer as well as prostate cancer. I thoroughly enjoy working in the field of immuno-oncology, and I hope to find a protein-based cure for solid tumors in the future!
