Immunotherapy has transformed the way we treat patients with cancer. In this lecture to inaugurate my promotion to Professor, I will discuss how research in immunotherapy has progressed over the decades, highlighting the key discoveries, discuss the major challenges to research progress and how we might overcome these.
