Biography
Judith Agudo, PhD
Dr. Agudo obtained her PhD in Regenerative Medicine at the University Autonomous of Barcelona in Spain. As a Fulbright scholar, she performed her postdoctoral training in immunology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City. She joined Dana-Farber Cancer Institute as a Principal Investigator in the Department of Cancer Immunology and Virology in November 2017. There, the Agudo lab explores the interaction between immune cells and cancer stem cells to discover mechanisms that drive resistance to cancer immunotherapy. The Agudo lab is also studying the immune privilege of normal tissue stem cells to understand autoimmunity and tumor initiation and to identify strategies to avoid rejection of stem cell-derived tissues for regenerative medicine. Dr. Agudo has received the Mary Kay Foundation Award, the Susan G. Komen Career Catalyst Award, the Pathway Award from the American Diabetes Association, the Smith Family Foundation Award for Excellence, and the Department of Defense Breast Cancer Research Program Era of Hope. Dr. Agudo is a New York Stem Cell Foundation – Robertson Investigator and a Member of the Parker Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy.
