Margaret Callahan, chief of the division of Hematology and Oncology in the Neag Comprehensive Cancer Center, is a board-certified medical oncologist specializing in the use of immunotherapies to treat melanoma and other cancers. Her research focuses on understanding how immunotherapies work in patients with the goal of characterizing facets of the human immune system that help or hinder the anti-tumor activity of current and novel agents.
