Dr. Patrick Hwu sits down with Dr. Thomas Gajewski, a leader in tumor immunology at the University of Chicago. Dr. Gajewski discusses his pioneering work defining “hot” versus “cold” tumors — an insight that transformed how immunotherapists understand tumor response. The conversation dives into how the tumor microenvironment, patient genetics and even the gut microbiome shape immune activity in cancer. His work continues to drive strategies to turn cold tumors into responsive ones, giving new hope to patients across all cancer types.
