Dr. Domingo-Musibay is an Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Division of Hematology, Oncology and Transplantation at the University of Minnesota and member of the Masonic Cancer Center. My clinical and translational research efforts focus on immunologic, cellular, and viral and gene therapy treatments for solid tumors. I am particularly interested in defining optimal immunotherapy sequencing strategies and mechanisms of resistance to standard immunotherapy agents, and identification of promising in situ vaccination and adoptive cell therapy based immunotherapy treatments. My graduate and post-graduate training in virology, immunology, and hematology/oncology has equipped me to interface between basic science discovery and clinical translation of novel therapies for cancer patients.
