The Dimitroff Lab is working to enhance CAR-T cell therapy by engineering the sugar coating on immune cells. The goal is to help these cells withstand the tumor environment, remain active longer, and fight cancer more effectively. Read about our research in the Miami Herald!

Congratulations to Dr. Dimitroff and Dr. Lau on this excellent feature in The Conversation highlighting how glycoengineering can help CAR-T cells overcome the tumor microenvironment. Special shoutout to Lulu Perez for the incredible graphics that bring the science to life!

FIU News highlights our lab’s work on glycoengineered CAR-T cells: a “sugar-coated” shield designed to help cancer-fighting immune cells survive longer and attack tumors more effectively. Read more: news.fiu.edu/2026/cancer-fig…

Congratulations to the Dimitroff Lab for participating in the Fifth Annual South Florida Translational Research Symposium at The FIU CTS! Special congratulations to our PhD candidate, Joseph Souchak, for winning first place in presenting his graduate student poster.
