To guide further clinical development of immune checkpoint inhibitors in kidney cancer we aim to 1) develop and validate tissue-based predictors of drug response using both genomics approaches and in situ analyses; 2) understand the mechanism of action of PD-1/PD-L1 blockade to facilitate the development of highly active combination regimens.
