Adam J. Adler

Dr. Adler received his Ph.D. in 1993 from Columbia University where he studied hormonal regulation of gene expression. His post-doctoral research at The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine focused on studying T cell tolerance pathways, and how they impact tumor immunity. Since 1999 his laboratory at the University of Connecticut Health Center has continued to analyze the cellular and molecular mechanisms by which T cell tolerance to normal self and tumor antigens is programmed, and more recently how costimulatory pathways can be engaged to elicit tumor immunity.
