👥Biography 个人简介
James Allison received the Nobel Prize for his discovery that blocking the CTLA-4 immune checkpoint unleashes anti-tumor T cell responses, leading to the development of ipilimumab. His work demonstrated that the immune system could be harnessed to fight cancer by releasing the brakes on T cell activation. This breakthrough launched the modern era of cancer immunotherapy, now benefiting millions of patients worldwide.
