In to I-O: First Contact

by Dr. Nils Rudqvist

My name is Nils Rudqvist and I have a confession to make: a few years ago, fresh out of grad school, I barely knew what a T cell was. I knew even less about dendritic cells, and don’t get me started on macrophages. I mean, I knew of them, but my understanding was very limited. I understood that the immune system worked hard to keep me safe and healthy, but also that it could malfunction - evident from my friend’s constant joint pain.

When and why did you become a SITC member?

I became a SITC member in 2016 when I joined the laboratory of Sandra Demaria at Weill Cornell Medicine. My background is in radiation physics/biology, so immunology was quite new to me. One main reason for me to join SITC was to develop the necessary skills and knowledge to become a successful investigator in the field of immuno-oncology.
