The Mount Sinai Health System and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai are leaders in the fields of immunology, allergies, and vaccinology. The Allergy and Immunology division at the Mount Sinai Health System, and the Division of Clinical Immunology at Icahn Mount Sinai, are both under the direction of Rachel Miller, MD. These departments lead the nation in researching immune deficiency diseases and allergy disorders and translating these findings to the design of pioneering treatments.

A recent study in pancreatic cancer provided evidence for immunoediting in human cancers, opening up the potential for cancer vaccines that could improve survival and outcomes.
Nina Bhardwaj, MD, PhD, was honored with the 2022 ESMO Award for Immuno-Oncology from the European Society for Medical Oncology in recognition of her outstanding contributions to cancer immunology research.
The therapy, known as a bispecific antibody, binds to both T cells and multiple myeloma cells and directs the T cells—white blood cells that can be enlisted to fight off diseases—to kill multiple myeloma cells.
Mount Sinai researchers have validated for the first time that a simple blood test called a liquid biopsy could be a better predictor of whether cancer immunotherapy will be successful for a patient with lung cancer than an invasive tumor biopsy procedure.
Scientists led by Miriam Merad, MD, PhD, have shown for the first time that specific populations of macrophages promote tumor growth and contribute to immune evasion in early lung cancer lesions.
One major limitation of T-cell-based immunotherapies is a phenomenon known as “antigen escape,” which occurs when a subset of cancer cells lose the targeted antigen.
Investigators at The Tisch Cancer Institute are developing different types of personalized vaccines, including those that treat cancers with common cell mutations and those combined with checkpoint inhibitors.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's recent approval of the adjuvant use of nivolumab for muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma may set a new standard of care.
Filip Swirski, PhD, an internationally recognized leader in cardiovascular immunology research, is the inaugural Director of the new Cardiovascular Research Institute.
