Effect of a novel drug and electroporation on melanoma and intratumoural immune cells viability and function

Dr Liam Tremble has recently been awarded his PhD from University College Cork.  Liam is continuing this work collaborative study between University College Cork and the Trinity Centre for Health Sciences in St James’ Hospital, Dublin investigating a novel drug in combination with electroporation as a treatment for melanoma.
