👥Biography 个人简介

Gordon Freeman is a discoverer of PD-L1 (B7-H1) and its interaction with PD-1, providing the molecular basis for anti-PD-1/PD-L1 cancer immunotherapy. His foundational work revealed how tumors exploit the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway to evade immunity and established the rationale for checkpoint blockade therapy. Freeman continues to identify novel immune regulatory pathways as potential therapeutic targets.
