This project aims to develop next-generation magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) probe technology to detect therapeutic tumor infiltrating lymphocytes in head and neck cancer patients. Up until now, we have been blind to the behavior of cells after infusion into patients. The probe technology is used to image lymphocyte homing to tumor and persistence of the therapy which may be predictive of responders versus non-responders to treatment. This information can be used to help speed the adoption of these new therapies.
