George Coukos
Born December 23, 1961 Alma mater University of Modena, Italy
University of Patras, Greece
University of Pennsylvania, USA Scientific career Fields Cancer immunotherapy
George Coukos (born December 23, 1961) is a physician-scientist in tumor immunology , professor and director of the Ludwig Cancer Research Lausanne Branch and director of the Department of oncology UNIL-CHUV of the University of Lausanne and the Lausanne University Hospital in Lausanne , Switzerland.[1] [2] [3]
Early life and education
[ edit ]
Born and raised in Greece, George Coukos obtained his MD in 1986 at the University of Modena , Italy, and his PhD in 1991 at the University of Patras , Greece. He completed training in Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Modena in 1991. He then undertook a post-doctorate fellowship in cell biology at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia (1991–1994) where he also completed residency training in obstetrics and gynecology (1994–1997) as well as fellowship training in Gynecologic Oncology (1997–2000).
Career
[ edit ]
In 2000, he became Assistant Professor at the University of Pennsylvania. He became Associate Professor in 2006 and Full Professor in 2010. At the University of Pennsylvania, George Coukos founded (2007) and directed the Ovarian Cancer Research Center,[4] [5] [6]
Major accomplishments
[ edit ]
Discovery of a spontaneous anti-tumor response in ovarian cancer , previously thought to be present only in few tumor types, such as kidney cancer or melanoma [7]
First to propose the notion that tumor endothelial barrier actively controls the localization of T cells in tumors,[8] [9] angiogenesis drugs with immune check points in numerous solid tumors[10] [11]
Discovery of mechanisms of immune recognition , including neoantigens, and development of rational T-cell therapy based on pursuit of neoantigens [12] [13] [14]
Discovery of the pro-angiogenic role of T regulatory cells and tumor monocytes[15] [16]
Development of immunotherapies such as an autologous dendritic cell vaccine and adoptive T-cell therapy with vaccine-primed autologous T-cells[17] [18]
