Marc Rothenberg

Marc Rothenberg is a world authority on eosinophil biology and the IL-5 signaling axis, whose fundamental work on eosinophil development, activation, and tissue recruitment has provided the framework for understanding eosinophil roles in cancer. His characterization of eotaxin chemokines and their receptors explained how eosinophils are recruited to tissues including tumors. He has contributed to understanding how IL-5 blockade affects eosinophil-mediated tumor immunity. His foundational eosinophil biology research has been essential for the emerging field of eosinophil cancer immunology.
