The first clinical phase I/II studies in which patients were vaccinated with DCs loaded with tumour-specific peptides were initiated in 1997. She also developed a novel immuno-monitoring assay that is highly predictive for extended survival after vaccination with DCs. Her primary scientific interest continues along the line of DC-immunotherapy and in particular the migration and imaging of DC.</p>" > <div class="summary-thumbnail img-wrapper" data-animation-role="image" style="">  <img data-src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b291a7ef2e6b15350bc6d77/1717683597474-5JSH9VUVYKRF1IOAEYQK/Huber.jpg" data-image="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b291a7ef2e6b15350bc6d77/1717683597474-5JSH9VUVYKRF1IOAEYQK/Huber.jpg" data-image-dimensions="1110x833" data-image-focal-point="0.5,0.5" alt="Jolanda de Vries" data-load="false" class="summary-thumbnail-image" elementtiming="summary-thumbnail-image-autogrid" /> </div> </a>  </div> <div class="summary-content sqs-gallery-meta-container" data-animation-role="content"> <div class="summary-metadata-container summary-metadata-container--above-title"> <div class="summary-metadata summary-metadata--primary"> </div> <div class="summary-metadata summary-metadata--secondary"> </div> </div> <div class="summary-title"> <a href="/executive-board-neu/yqycat1itb61va2n5jou433qwdewwm" class="summary-title-link">Jolanda de Vries</a></div> <div class="summary-metadata-container summary-metadata-container--below-title"> <div class="summary-metadata summary-metadata--primary"> </div> <div class="summary-metadata summary-metadata--secondary"> </div> </div> <div class="summary-metadata-container summary-metadata-container--below-content"> <div class="summary-metadata summary-metadata--primary"> </div> <div class="summary-metadata summary-metadata--secondary"> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class=" summary-item summary-item-record-type-image sqs-gallery-design-autogrid-slide summary-item-has-thumbnail summary-item-has-excerpt summary-item-has-author " > <div class="summary-thumbnail-outer-container"> <a href="/executive-board-neu/yqycat1itb61va2n5jou433qwdewwm-t9j6g" class=" summary-thumbnail-container sqs-gallery-image-container js-gallery-lightbox-opener " data-title="Vincenzo Bronte" data-description="<p>Prof. Vincenzo Bronte is the Scientific Director of the IRCCS I Istituto Oncologico Veneto, Padova (Italy) and Tenured Full Professor of Immunology and Head of the Immunology Section in the Department of Medicine at Verona University. &nbsp;His major achievements have been the definition and characterization of immunoregulatory cells, now called myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), whose negative influence on antitumor immunity represents an obstacle to a successful immunotherapy of cancer. Projects included a further exploration of cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying tumor-induced immune dysfunctions&nbsp; to define novel drugs and approaches targeting the tumor microenvironment.
