Emre Bhatt

Emre Bhatt investigates the diverse roles of B cells within the tumor microenvironment and their influence on cancer immunotherapy outcomes. His research has characterized different B cell subsets in tumors, including plasma cells, memory B cells, and regulatory B cells with distinct pro- and anti-tumor activities. He has demonstrated that tertiary lymphoid structures containing B cell follicles correlate with improved immunotherapy responses in multiple cancer types. His work has helped establish tumor-associated B cells as biomarkers and therapeutic targets.
