Abstract
As a clinician–scientist, I believe that effectively tackling a complex disease such as ovarian cancer requires a concerted focus on the often unseen component of the disease—minimal or “invisible” disease. In this presentation, I will outline our laboratory’s systematic efforts to elucidate the biological drivers of minimal residual disease in ovarian cancer and to develop a cell therapy specifically designed to eradicate it. I will then describe how these investigations have informed our parallel efforts to design a preventive vaccine for ovarian cancer, with the goal of intercepting precancerous cells at the earliest stages of their development.
