Robert Schreiber, Ph.D. Distinguished Professor Pathology & Immunology, Washington University School of Medicine Dr. Schreiber is an immunologist and currently is the Alumni Endowed Professor of Pathology and Immunology at Washington University School of Medicine. Schreiber has led a major revision in our understanding of how the immune system interacts with cancer. His work on the cancer immunoediting hypothesis has helped reveal that the immune system is not only capable of destroying cancers, but can also drive them into a dormant state that, in some cases, results in an improved state of malignancy.
Schreiber obtained his B.A. and PhD in biochemistry from the State University of New York at Buffalo. His postdoctoral training was with Han Mueller-Eberhart at the Scripps Clinic studying the complement system. He joined the Scripps faculty in 1976 and rose to associate member with tenure at Scripps before joining Washington University in St. Louis as Professor of Pathology. He was given the Alumni Endowed Professorship in 1990 and became an Affiliate of the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research in 2001.
Dan Kaplan, Ph.D. Sr. Director, Translational Science NGM Dr. Kaplan joined NGM in 2008. He heads NGM’s Translational Immune-Oncology group and serves as leader of the NGM707 (anti-ILT2/ILT4) development team. He has directed drug discovery efforts across numerous therapeutic areas, including metabolic diseases and oncology. For the past seven years, his team has worked to understand the suppressive mechanisms at play in the tumor microenvironment, and how these mechanisms restrict anti-tumor immune responses in many cancers. They have elucidated “myeloid checkpoints” that mediate immune suppression in tumors, and they have identified therapeutic targets for relieving these checkpoints. Dr. Kaplan obtained his Ph.D. from Duke University, where he was a Howard Hughes Medical Institute predoctoral scholar, and completed postdoctoral training at Stanford University, where he was an American Cancer Society fellow.
