Welcome to the Schumacher lab Homepage! 

We are interested in understanding and improving T cell function in viral infection and tumor growth.

Our lab focuses on the development and use of novel technologies to study and manipulate T cell function in mouse model systems.  Current projects in the lab are aimed at the use of novel strategies for tracing antigen-specific T cell immunity, the development and use of genetic barcoding to determine differentiation pathways of T cells and other hematopoietic cell types, and the induction of tumor-specific T cell immunity through T cell receptor gene transfer.

The lab has a series of close collaborations with the lab of John Haanen that involve the clinical testing of newly developed technologies in phase I trials.

We are located at the Department of Immunology at The Netherlands Cancer Institute in Amsterdam.
