SHIRLEY, NY, August 25, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ — Creative Biolabs is proud to present its upcoming webinar titled Modeling T Cell Dysfunction in Tumor Microenvironments. The live virtual event is scheduled for September 1, 2026, at 10:00 AM EDT, featuring a keynote presentation by renowned expert Greg M. Delgoffe, Ph.D., Professor of Immunology at the University of Pittsburgh and Director of the Tumor Microenvironment Center at the UPMC Hillman Cancer Center.
As oncology research rapidly advances, understanding the tumor microenvironment (TME) remains an important challenge in developing effective cancer treatments. The TME is a highly complex ecosystem where cancer cells, immune cells, and various metabolites interact. As tumors progress, they establish a metabolically challenging environment characterized by nutrient depletion and the accumulation of immunosuppressive byproducts. These metabolic pressures impair immune cell function, leading to T cell dysfunction, immune evasion, and ultimately, a reduced response to standard cancer immunotherapies.
During this exclusive webinar, Dr. Delgoffe will explore innovative approaches to modeling these complex tumor microenvironments. Traditional models often fall short of capturing the nuanced interactions between tumor metabolism and immune regulation. By utilizing advanced preclinical testing services and robust in vivo and in vitro models, researchers can better replicate these metabolic stress conditions. These advanced systems provide researchers with valuable tools to investigate immune suppression and therapeutic responses under physiologically relevant conditions.
“Understanding how metabolic conditions within tumors influence immune-cell behavior is increasingly important in immuno-oncology,” said a senior scientific director at Creative Biolabs. “Dr. Delgoffe’s work provides an important perspective on how researchers can model these conditions and investigate target discovery and validation.”
Webinar highlights include:
How tumor metabolic environments contribute to immune suppression and T cell exhaustion.
Strategies for modeling TME conditions in preclinical research systems.
The mechanisms underlying T cell exhaustion and how nutrient depletion influences T cell function.
How immunometabolism insights can guide therapeutic strategies to enhance cancer immunotherapy.
This webinar is especially relevant for cancer immunology researchers, pharmaceutical and biotechnology professionals, and R&D teams dedicated to oncology drug discovery.
