Meet Your Instructor, Dr. Byram Bridle, PhD.
Associate Professor of Viral Immunology and Cancer Biology, Department of Pathobiology, University of Guelph. Dr. Bridle’s lab develops novel, highly targeted biotherapies for the treatment of cancers. Two approaches are combined in his research program: (1) cancer immunotherapy that directs the power of a patient’s immune system against their own tumour(s) and, (2) oncolytic virotherapy, which utilizes viruses that replicate in and kill only cancerous cells. An area of his focus is developing a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying virus-induced cytokine storms. He is interested in how immunoceuticals, such as Vitamin D, influence the immune system and how they might be used to improve cancer outcomes.
