Speaking on genetics, immunotherapy and tumor-associated immunosuppression mechanisms in lung cancer
Prof. Carbone is an active researcher, having authored more than 250 peer-reviewed publications. Specifically, his recent work has focused on the development of molecular biomarkers to guide patient management and therapy and the molecular profiling of lung cancers and pre-neoplasias to guide the development of therapeutics, especially using mass spectrometry-based proteomics. He has served as an investigator on multiple clinical trials, including the Phase III TRINITY study of rovalpituzumab tesirine in DLL3-expressing non-small cell lung cancer.
