Author Information
Maria Raffaella Zocchi is a distinguished researcher affiliated with the Division of Immunology, Transplants, and Infectious Diseases at the IRCCS San Raffaele Scientific Institute. Her work primarily focuses on the interface of immunology and cancer research, with a particular emphasis on the role of natural killer cells and proteases in cancer treatment and progression.Research Contributions
Maria Raffaella Zocchi has made significant contributions to the field of cancer immunology, with a special interest in the roles of natural killer cells, immune-checkpoint inhibitors, and extracellular matrix modifications in cancer therapy. Her research includes the development of three-dimensional culture models to study the anti-tumor immune response and the investigation of protease inhibitors in cancer treatment. Notably, she has explored the mechanical properties of the tumor microenvironment and how they influence cancer progression and treatment efficacy. Her work on ADAM10, a critical protease, underscores its significance beyond being a mere biochemical scissor, indicating its diverse roles in cancer and autoimmunity.Aliases
