Jason Miska completed his doctorate in Microbiology and Immunology at the University of Miami in 2014. There he worked on elucidating the mechanisms of  autoimmunity, and its paridoxical role in both tumor promotion and prevention.  Utilizing a novel intra-vital imaging platform, he demonstrated how certain T-cell interactions can lead to tolerance or autoimmunity within the target tissue. He also discovered that perturbations in CTLA-4 can induce  autoimmune mediated gastric tumorigenesis. He has extensive experience in flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry, intravital imaging, and use of transgenic  mouse models. Presently he plans to focus on the immunology of brain tumors,  and the immunotherapeutic approaches used to treat them.
