Welcome to the Milner Lab

Led by Justin Milner, our lab focuses on developing new and exciting approaches for enhancing the efficacy of cancer immunotherapies.

We utilize cutting-edge techniques to identify transcriptional and epigenetic regulators controlling T cell differentiation and function in the tumor microenvironment, and we seek to leverage this insight to reprogram or tailor the activity of T cells in cancer.

Our group is also interested in understanding how to harness or manipulate T cell function to improve vaccines and immunotherapies for acute and chronic infections. Milner Lab is located at the UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center in Chapel Hill, NC.
