Project Summary/Abstract
The ultimate goal of this proposal is to address the fundamental gap in knowledge on the mechanisms driving
resistance to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB), particularly in melanoma patients who exhibit downregulation
or deletion of p16 (~40% of cases). The research plan focuses on elucidating the mechanistic role of p16…
